Areas of interest

My consultation and assessment services are based on my belief that there is a pathway to success for ALL learners. The job of parents, schools, and professionals is to work together to develop a plan to best support the student's growth in learning and social functioning. As students get older, they can become active members of this team, and can provide invaluable input into determining what their pathway may look like.

I use my training in best practices for school neuropsychological assessment, applied behavior analysis, educational interventions, and consultation to provide:

Comprehensive School Neuropsychological Assessments

Psychoeducational Assessment

Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs)

Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBAs)

Educationally Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS) Assessments

Development of and consultation around behavior intervention plans

Training and consultation to school districts and local agencies

Parent consultation around supporting learning and behavior with your child or teen at home and in collaboration with the school

Evidence-based parent ADHD behavioral training/coaching (See: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/behavior-therapy.html)

For students who are developmentally ready: short-term consultation to debrief assessment results and plan for next steps

Educational consultation including reviewing reports and school documents, attending IEP and school meetings, and discussion of treatment recommendations with the school team.
