Individualized assessment to support your child’s growth and potential
Better understand your child’s ability and potential
Most families come into the assessment process with a main concern for their child, such as reading challenges, attentional difficulties, or anxiety. While the main concern may be the most pressing matter, it is not always the only challenge. As such, it is important to look at your child as a whole person. This includes exploring a variety of factors, including their development, academics, emotions, social skills, etc., as well as different domains of cognitive functioning. By doing so, we can better understand your child’s unique mind, how they learn, and why they may be struggling. Dr. Webb strives to provide a comprehensive overview of your child through examining their development in an array of domains.

Children at any stage of development may struggle with emotional dysregulation, and this can manifest as defiance, anger, opposition, school avoidance, and rapid shifts in emotion. A thorough assessment is often helpful in clarifying underlying factors which impact a child’s difficulty to regulate emotions.
Emotional Dysregulation
Common symptoms of depression in children include persistent irritability, sadness, guilt, low self-esteem, and hopelessness. Some children may experience thoughts of suicide or self-harm.
Symptoms of anxiety vary and may include frequent worrying, difficulty trying new things, a fixed mindset, difficulty separating from caregivers, and persistent fears.
Mood disorders in children are often misdiagnosed as attentional problems (e.g., ADHD), and differentiating between mood and neurodevelopmental differences is imperative for specifying effective treatment recommendations.

Learning Differences
Gain clarity and support for learning differences, designed to help identify challenges such as dyslexia, ADHD, processing disorders, struggles in school, and more. We works closely with children, teens, and young adults to assess key areas like reading comprehension, attention, executive functioning, and memory skills, providing a thorough understanding of unique strengths and needs.
Whether you’re concerned about attention, difficulty with reading, math struggles, or comprehension, our evaluations deliver clear answers and practical recommendations for personalized strategies.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that impacts a child’s executive functions such as sustained attention, concentration, organization of thoughts, impulse control, planning, and organizational skills.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Twice-exceptional (2E) children, identified as gifted with an additional learning difference like ADHD or dyslexia, may encounter challenges such as heightened sensitivity, anxiety, compulsivity, or over-excitability. These factors can potentially impact their academic performance.
Gifted children, though unique in their experiences, often share common attributes. These may include quick learning, enhanced creativity, increased curiosity, and heightened sensitivity. Gifted children may easily grasp new concepts, display imaginative talents, exhibit insatiable curiosity, and demonstrate emotional sensitivity.

The Testing Process
Pursuing a comprehensive evaluation for your child involves several steps:
-
Once you submit an inquiry form, we’ll review the information you provide and reach out to schedule a brief, 15-minute phone consultation.
This no-obligation conversation gives us a chance to hear about your child, answer any questions you may have, and see if a comprehensive evaluation is the right fit for your family.
-
We’ll start with a virtual parent intake interview, usually lasting about 60–90 minutes. During this time, we’ll talk with you about your child’s history, your questions and concerns, and what you hope to gain from the evaluation. When it’s helpful, your child can join part of this conversation, so we can hear their perspective too.
-
Your child will complete a variety of learning, thinking, and problem-solving activities across two separate sessions. Most kids are with us for about 5–7 hours total, but we move at a pace that feels comfortable for them to do their best. Our priority is always their wellbeing.
As part of the evaluation, we also gather input from the adults who know your child best. We’ll provide any relevant questionnaires for caregivers and teachers so we can understand your child’s strengths and challenges from multiple perspectives.
If you’d like support getting your child ready for testing, we can talk you through simple preparation tips, or you can read our recommendations here.
-
After your child’s evaluation is complete we carefully review everything we’ve gathered—their assessment results, school records (such as IEPs, 504 plans, teacher feedback, and grade reports), any counseling notes, and relevant medical information.
-
About four weeks after your child’s evaluation, we’ll meet with you for a feedback appointment to review findings, diagnoses, and any recommendations. Within 48 hours, you’ll then receive a detailed written report that you can use at home or share with your child’s school if relevant.
For teens and young adults, we may also schedule a brief 30-min individual session to present the findings in a more age appropriate manner and answer any questions your child might have.
