Comprehensive evaluations are key to understanding a child’s unique needs, whether academic, emotional, or behavioral.
Our comprehensive evaluations cover the range of concerns typically assessed in psychoeducational and neuropsychological evaluations, including intellectual and academic functioning, cognitive processing (e.g., attention, memory), and social-emotional development. These evaluations test for things like ADHD, learning disabilities, and more.

During a CHC evaluation, we really get to know your child. Experienced clinicians work collaboratively alongside your family and key adults in your child’s life (e.g., teachers, coaches, therapists) to learn what issues are interfering with your child’s wellbeing. Then the team collaborates and recommends a plan of action that works best for your family. All of our specialists work closely together, sharing expertise and providing customized scaffolding around your child’s unique needs.
The evaluation process begins with a parent/caregiver-only intake appointment that is typically 90 minutes in length. Children should not attend unless they are 18 years or older in which case, they do need to be there. The intake appointment allows our clinician to gather your child’s comprehensive developmental history. Your clinician will ask you to identify areas of strength and challenge areas so that they can determine the scope of the evaluation. This is your chance to share your child’s strengths and areas of concern with someone who understands and specializes in helping children reach their full potential.
Based on your child’s unique history and the information provided, the clinician will discuss with you the type of evaluation that is recommended and determine the number of assessment sessions needed, the duration of these sessions, and whether a school observation is indicated (subject to schools allowing visitors on campus). Your clinician will also let you know if an occupational therapy (OT) evaluation and/or speech and language (SLP) evaluation is necessary in order to address your areas of concern.
