It is often not easy to know if a child’s difficulties (whether academic,
emotional, social or behavioral) are just a phase in the child’s development
or are evidence of something more problematic. Psychologists are specialists
who are trained to evaluate and assess such difficulties and to determine
whether or not professional intervention is recommended to aid the child.
Accordingly, a comprehensive psychological evaluation is recommended
if your child is experiencing academic, emotional, social or behavioral
difficulties and these difficulties are interfering with their well being. Early and accurate identification of these problems is
important. The earlier you recognize your child's special needs and
seek professional help, the greater the chances that your child can
be helped to overcome their difficulties. Early intervention is linked
to better outcome in terms of psychological adjustment of the child
and in terms of the child’s well being.
My specialized practice provides comprehensive and confidential evaluation
services for children, adolescents and young adults. I am confident
that you will find a comprehensive psychological evaluation to be a
very valuable resource for your child’s well being whether you are seeking
an initial evaluation, a second opinion evaluation, or an updated evaluation
for treatment and/or educational planning purposes.
