Intellectual Disability Therapists in Washington, DC
Although my specialty is in evaluating adult ADHD, I am a Clinical Neuropsychologist and do assessments for dyslexia, intellectual disability, dementia and other cognitive and learning challenges.
I can see individuals in person in my Washington DC office in Georgetown, but I continue to be licensed in Massachusetts and New Hampshire where I practiced for over thirty years, and do virtual evaluations for those clients.

Life has its ups and downs. You want to have the skills, resources, and supports to weather whatever the world throws at you and you want that for your family too. As strong and resourceful as we are, no one has the ability to manage everything, all the time. Every now and then, any one of us could use a little extra help. Maybe you have been feeling more stressed. Maybe you are going through a major life change. Maybe there have been concerns about your child’s development or behavior. Maybe you or your loved one has been diagnosed with a learning or developmental disability, or you want to know more about ADHD, Autism, or Anxiety.
