------------------------------
As a Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP), I am able to conduct cognitive (or IQ) testing, academic achievement assessments, and social-emotional/behavioral evaluations to pinpoint strengths as well as areas of deficit that may require systematic intervention and data-driven support. If you have any questions about an IEP (Individualized Educational Plan), a Section 504 accommodation plan, or other school/home-based supports, I can provide consultation regarding these areas in a holistic approach.
Areas of specialty include Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), Executive Functioning, Autism, Learning Disorders, Intellectual Disability (ID). Individualized and/or parent counseling sessions are focused on identifying areas that are impacting educational progress and empowering individuals and parents with instruction in various social-emotional/behavioral curriculum.
