Booking for Back to School Assessments! Navigating the school "village" shouldn't feel like a locked mystery. At Supporting Diverse Minds, I partner with parents of bright children who are struggling but "don't qualify" for school support. Whether you're facing ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism, or need an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE), I help you unlock the gate. As a Board Certified School Neuropsychologist, I provide private testing to uncover hidden learning differences districts often miss. I bridge the gap between complex data and the classroom, ensuring your child finally receives the specialized support they deserve.
Services: Comprehensive evaluations covering learning disabilities like Dyslexia, Autism, ADHD, Brain Trauma like TBI/Seizures/Concussions, and Executive Functioning Coaching. Birth to 5 I consult to support/guide parents of littles. I don't just hand over a report; I offer a roadmap that turns clinical findings into real-world success.
You’ve been carrying the weight of this maze on your own long enough. It is exhausting to fight for a child who is misunderstood by the system. Every person has unique strengths waiting to be unlocked, and you don’t have to find the key alone. Let’s start walking this path together—reach out today to explore how we can bridge the gap toward success.
