Every child has a unique story. As a licensed psychologist, I help families understand their child’s strengths and needs through thorough psychological, developmental, and autism evaluations. As a special education advocate, I also walk alongside families as they navigate school services and supports.
An in-depth assessment to determine whether your child meets criteria for autism, using gold-standard in person measures. You’ll receive clear answers, a detailed written report, and concrete next steps for home and school.
Autism evaluations from home using the VEDA (Virtual Evaluation Diagnostic Assessment) model, a structured approach designed specifically for telehealth autism assessment. Convenient for busy families and those farther from Garden City.
A full look at your child's learning, communication, attention, behavior, and social skills. For young children, this includes milestones like language, play, and movement, so you can see where your child is thriving and where extra support may help.
Learn what skills children typically develop at each age, from first words to early friendships, and when it may be worth taking a closer look.
Understand the early signs of autism spectrum disorder and how an evaluation can help your child get the right support.
