The Brighton Center for Pediatric Neurodevelopment offers comprehensive assessments to evaluate a variety of presenting concerns. Psychological assessment is often used to identify a diagnosis and determine services. For many of children this process has considerable influence on diagnosis, special education certification/Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) implementation, and service delivery. We will work with you each step of the process to understand the procedures, the results, and the recommendations. Further, we will follow-up with the school or other treatment providers (at your request) to ensure that the treatment plan is implemented.
