How Can a Comprehensive Assessment Help My Child?

Overview

Identifying specific conditions like ADHD, dyslexia, or other developmental disabilities early on in your child’s life can make a world of difference in their ability to successfully navigate the world and the challenges they will face. For instance, if your child struggles with reading, test findings can clarify if this is due to a reading disability, attention problems, language disorders, or processing issues. We can help provide education about what accommodations or alterations to daily life can ease your child’s life and provide a path forward. Identifying specific learning and developmental disabilities can make a world of difference in your child’s ability to navigate the world successfully.

We go beyond diagnosis to determine the underlying clinical and cognitive processes that impact functioning. Our comprehensive evaluation will identify specific elements that hold your child back, provide tailored recommendations, determine school placement, inform the development of an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) or a 504 Plan, and identify goals for treatment. The earlier you are made aware of your child’s specific strengths and weaknesses, the earlier they can begin to adapt and understand how to live and thrive alongside it.

Take the GPG Symptom Checker

At Greenwich Psychology Group, our symptom checker helps clients track their symptoms of depression or anxiety. Taking the assessment doesn't provide a formal diagnosis, but it can help you determine what next steps you may need to take. The evaluation uses a series of questions to review the feelings and symptoms you've experienced over the past two weeks. The results will help you distinguish if professional help is the best next step.
