Our goals are to build connections and cultivate curiosity

Has your child lost confidence as a student? Is your teen having trouble keeping up with assignments or working independently? Are they losing interest in school or feeling anxious? Do you want to better understand how your child learns? 


Parents turn to us with heartfelt concerns and questions. Together, we will address your concerns, provide answers to questions, and empower both students and families throughout their academic journey.

We offer a thorough, hands-on evaluation of a student’s neurocognitive profile and the foundational skills for learning. Rather than a score-driven model, we use an interactive, process-based approach that explores how students think and solve problems. We examine how they take in information from the world and determine how they reason and make connections between ideas and concepts. We assess how well students store and retrieve information from memory as well as what strategies they use for encoding/learning.

Our Approach

Engaged Learning

Based on your child’s unique neurocognitive profile, we provide specific strategies to maximize learning, establish diagnostic clarity, collaborate with other professionals to implement recommendations/goals, and determine eligibility for classroom, testing, and college accommodations. You will come away with a roadmap to your child’s learning and a plan for strategic engagement.

Empowered Learners

Meeting kids, teens, and young adults where they are and guiding them to better understand their neurocognitive profile can facilitate their confidence as learners. While families may come to us with an awareness of challenges/concerns, we want our students to leave defining themselves by their strengths, not their weaknesses.
