We offer brief screenings at a fraction of the cost of a comprehensive assessment, with results available on the same day.
IQ/GATE Screening
Parents often wonder whether their child might qualify for a Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program or whether cognitive challenges could be affecting learning.
Our IQ/GATE screening provides a quick yet reliable snapshot of a child’s reasoning abilities that offers insight into your child’s general intellectual functioning. It can help determine whether your child may be at risk for an intellectual impairment, is performing within the expected range for their age, or demonstrates advanced abilities consistent with GATE eligibility.
Screening results can help families make informed decisions about next steps. If results suggest the possibility of a learning issue, the screening fee can be applied toward the cost of a comprehensive psychological evaluation conducted through our practice.
Dyslexia Screening
Parents who wonder if their child may have Dyslexia have many options to consider to get to the bottom of their child’s learning differences. They could reach out to their child’s school team for help, hire a tutor, or even have a comprehensive evaluation conducted. But is all of this necessary? Maybe not.
Universal screening is a best practice in public school systems. Still, it is not always implemented with fidelity, leaving parents to wonder where their child’s literacy skills are compared to their peers. We are here to help!
We offer Dyslexia screening for school-aged youth to help families identify whether their child is at risk for Dyslexia. If the results indicate low risk, a time (and sometimes emotionally) intensive evaluation process can be avoided. On the other hand, if the screening suggests there may be traits of Dyslexia present, we are happy to absorb our screening fee into the total cost of a comprehensive Dyslexia evaluation. Either way, screening can help put parents’ minds at ease and help them feel informed about their child’s learning.
