After the evaluation, we don’t just talk to you, the parents, we talk directly with your child. Using age-appropriate language, we explain what we’ve learned about their brain, how it helps them, and where it needs extra support.
Our goal is to help your child feel seen, understood, and supported, not “broken” or alone. We want them to grow up understanding their unique brain and learning how to advocate for themselves.
If you’re considering a school neuropsychological or psychoeducational evaluation, you’re in the right place. At EmpowerED, we approach both with the same level of depth, care, and expertise, and often use the terms interchangeably.
Because Bethany and Annalise are trained to conduct School Neuropsychological Evaluations, all of our evaluations are grounded in a deeper understanding of how the brain processes information and based on neuropsychological functioning.
The result is a deep understanding of your child and specific recommendations for how to support their success at home and in school.
If your child struggles to sound out words, avoids reading, or has trouble spelling, a dyslexia evaluation can help uncover the reason behind those challenges.
Dyslexia is assessed as part of a full psychoeducational evaluation. This allows us to evaluate not only reading skills, but also how your child’s brain processes language, stores sounds, and connects letters to meaning.
When dyslexia is identified early, the right support can lead to meaningful progress. You will receive a clear explanation of results, a detailed report, and recommendations for school and home that are tailored to your child.
