How it Works: Step by Step

Consultation & Scheduling

Call us or request a consultation through our website form. Our intake coordinator will explain the evaluation process, answer your questions, and find the best time for your child. To make our services accessible, our fees are structured based on the psychologist's experience (ranging from intern to senior licensed psychologist).

Gathering Insights

We'll ask you and your child's teachers to complete background information and rating scales. This helps us gain a comprehensive understanding.

Your Child's Evaluation

Your child will engage in 4-6 hours of assessments with a psychologist, usually spread over several sessions to ensure their comfort. Our goal is to highlight their strengths and identify areas where they might need support, making them feel comfortable and capable throughout.

Sharing Results & Planning

Within two weeks after testing, we'll meet with you to discuss the findings and create a personalized plan to help your child thrive. For older students, we may also suggest a meeting with them to discuss their strengths and how to best support their development.

Partnering with the School

If you wish and the school agrees, we'll collaborate in a meeting with the psychologist, parents, and school staff. This meeting will focus on your child's learning profile, strengths, and appropriate support strategies to help them reach their full potential.
