About Us

Why are we a different type of provider?

We understand the complexities of individuals displaying academic, social and behavioral difficulties and we strive to provide a comprehensive evaluation for you or your child’s unique needs. Each evaluation we perform is individualized. Additionally, we strive to ensure a timely response in order to avoid the pitfalls of waiting for an evaluation such as further academic decline, increase in behavioral concerns, school refusal behaviors, and deflated self-esteem.
