We conduct thorough neuropsychological assessments to diagnose and create interventions for ADHD, ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), Learning Disorders (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia), more.

Assessment

I conduct three types of assessments: IQ-only testing (for private school admission), psychological screening and neuropsychological assessment for people aged 7 and older. For more information, please see my FAQ page.

​

  • IQ- Only Assessments are used for private school admissions. I will provide you/the school with the raw data but this assessment does not include a report. 

  • Psychological Screening answers the question: "Do I have ADHD (or ASD or Dyslexia, Giftedness etc.) or not?" They take less time and cost less. These can happen virtually OR in person.

  • Neuropsychological Assessments are only occasionally covered by insurance; involve lengthy interviews cognitive and other testing, and record reviews; often include detailed reports; and are often used to obtain educational and workplace accommodations. For detailed information on neuropsychological assessments, see below. The interview and feedback portions of these assessments can happen virtually, but the actual testing itself must happen in-person (I require proof of vaccination). When applicable, I use the Nesplora suite of virtual reality Executive Functioning Assessments.

​

I use thorough neuropsychological assessments to diagnose and create interventions for disorders such as:

​

  • ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)

  • ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder)

  • Gifted & Talented (and Twice Exceptional- 2E, GATE)

  • Learning Disorders (ex: Dyslexia, Dyscalculia)

​

Neuropsychological assessments occur across 1-3 sessions and I provide feedback and your report soon after completing testing. We meet in-person and I'm licensed in California, Hawaii, and New York. I screen and assess for multiple diagnoses simultaneously as they form part of the larger diagnostic picture and inform treatment and recommendations.

Advocacy & Accommodations

You may not realize it, but having ADHD or other forms of neurodiversity often qualifies you or your child for accommodations. Many children with ADHD or neurodiverse brains qualify for school accommodations (504 or IEP plans) such as time and a half on exams or preferential class seating. These accommodations aren't limited to K-12- in fact they can be implemented for college students as well as for standardized testing (SAT, ACT, AP). My reports help provide evidence for the necessity of accommodations and I can support you or serve as your advocate as you work with often challenging and bureaucratic school systems. Many kids with neurodiverse brains (especially ADHD) often have parents who are similarly neurodiverse, so even if you are initially reaching out on behalf of your child there may be ways I can support you as well.  

 

If you are an adult with ADHD or a neurodiverse brain, my reports can support workplace accommodations such as later start times and I can serve as your advocate as you work with your HR department to get them in place.

Many children with ADHD or neurodiverse brains qualify for school accommodations (504 or IEP plans). Adults can also qualify for workplace accommodations.
I conduct psychological and neuropsychological evaluations with adults and children to assess for ADHD, ASD, Learning Disorders, and Giftedness. I am located in Berkeley, California.

Coaching

​

One of the most powerful interventions for any disorder, but in particular ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) or ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is education. 

​

If you are the parent or caregiver of a child with ADHD or other forms of neurodiversity it is criticial to get a thorough understanding of the disorder, how it manifests in your child, common interventions, which set of interventions may be the best for your child, and how to prioritize the interventions. These same issues are important to address if you yourself have a neurodiverse brain. I provide education regarding your neurodiversity and co-existing disorders such as depression or insomnia and help you strategize next steps.

​

The frequency of my coaching is customized to your needs- we can meet once, weekly (or monthly), or on an as-needed basis. We can meet virtually or in-person. I often find home visits to be helpful, particularly for people with ADHD who are looking for organization support; I have room organization tips for people with ADHD and neurodiversity and can help put these in place. I coach parents of kids with ADHD and other forms of neurodiversity, as well as the neurodiverse children and adults themselves.
