Your child and I work together from start to finish. I personally spend time getting to know your child and how they react to accomplishments and cope with challenges. The hours I spend with your child allow me to write helpful and personal reports. In addition to scores, data, and diagnoses, my reports truly help identify strengths and weaknesses and are intended to help you, your child, and the school really understand the student and how to help them succeed. My reports are comprehensive, clearly written, and explained for YOU and the STUDENT to understand. I use the most up-to-date assessment tools and am well-trained and experienced in measures of cognitive ability, academic achievement, attention, executive functioning, and social-emotional development. Parenting and coaching work compliment the assessment as both you and your child learn how to utilize the results to improve learning and communication while decreasing frustration and conflict. https://drterrijames.com/assessment daily 0.75 2020-12-14 https://drterrijames.com/coaching daily 0.75 2020-12-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3da0145c32dc6f1e94d2c7/1598206049100-CYO2D48MW6OOIPL7H531/image-asset.jpeg Coaching - Coaching One of the greatest gifts that an assessment offers is a better understanding of an individual’s learning style. This knowledge empowers your child with a lifetime of skills that can be used in school, work, and life. Coaching can focus on improving executive functioning skills such as organization and time management while tailoring strategies that are consistent with each student’s strengths.

After taking my first psychology class, I was hooked. I graduated from Cornell University with an undergraduate degree in Child Development and Family Studies. I continued my education at Hofstra University where I received a combined Ph.D. in Clinical and School Psychology. After working in the public school system and conducting private school admissions testing in Manhattan, my husband and I decided two children in a one bedroom apartment in NYC wasn’t the life we wanted, and we moved to Charlotte, NC. Shortly after moving to Charlotte, I began working in private practice specializing in assessment work. I slowly grew my practice while taking the time to focus on raising my children and enjoying my family. As my kids got older, I expanded my practice to include work with parents and coaching students to better understand how they learn. I truly enjoy helping families develop workable solutions for the challenges they face. When I’m out of the office, you can usually find me writing a report or at one of my childrens’ sporting events. We spend A LOT of time on different fields! I am also a Pilates enthusiast. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and close friends, traveling, and watching movies that make me laugh. https://drterrijames.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-08-30 https://drterrijames.com/cais daily 0.75 2023-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3da0145c32dc6f1e94d2c7/1597924558385-UFZ2XKAFPVYVLB1UECRR/learning CAIS - CAIS: Charlotte Area Independent Schools I provide the WPPSI-IV (applying to Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten or 1st grade) for children applying to independent schools in Charlotte.
