We start by understanding your concerns, your child's history, and what success looks like for your family. We begin with a detailed discussion about your child's development, daily routines, strengths, and challenges to create a personalized evaluation approach focused on meaningful goals.
Standardized testing
Age-appropriate, evidence-based assessments delivered in a playful, low-pressure way. We use clinical observations and standardized assessments to evaluate areas such as fine motor skills, sensory processing, visual perception, coordination, and handwriting readiness while keeping your child comfortable.
