Neuropsychological and Educational Assessment
Assessment
School can be frustrating and even distressing for students who are experiencing challenges. An evaluation is a tool for mapping out how a student can learn best so children and their families can worry less and understand more by assisting with diagnostic clarity, identifying informal and formal supports a student may need, and recommending any other services or supports to ensure positive outcomes.
​
The process of an evaluation includes:
​
1. Intake Meeting (90 Minutes) to review your child's history, your primary concerns, and what you hope to get out of an evaluation.
2. Test Administration (8-10 hours over 2-3 sessions) when Dr. Wolf will meet individually with your child for testing.
3. Feedback Meeting (90 minutes) to review the results and discuss primary recommendations.
​
After the assessment process, you will receive a comprehensive report. Additionally, Dr. Wolf will meet with your child to review the results of the evaluation in a developmentally-appropriate way. Dr. Wolf does all of her own test administration, scoring, and report writing personally.

Consultation
Consultation and Family Guidance: If you are unsure about next steps for your child or are interested in learning more about how you can help them, you can schedule a consultation. A consultation includes a face-to-face meeting with Dr. Wolf to discuss your concerns, goals, and offer guidance and recommendations for appropriate next steps. Examples of topics of discussion include strategies for supporting your child, how to advocate for support at school, navigating the special education process, and identifying appropriate therapy or additional supports your child may need. She can also review previous testing, school reports, Individual Education Programs (IEPs) and any other relevant background materials.
​
School Consultation and Meetings: Dr. Wolf is available to meet with schools and learning support teams in order to help bridge the gap between what is stated in the report and how that translates to "real life." She can advocate for the support your child needs, discuss findings, provide psychoeducation about how to support specific cognitive profiles and disorders (i.e., executive dysfunction, anxiety, dyslexia), and brainstorm collaboratively about implementing recommendations.
