Neuropsychological Evaluations

The Stramski Center's goal is to provide effective psychological and neuropsychological evaluations to academically and emotionally troubled children of all ages in order to determine the pattern of brain-related strengths and weaknesses, emerging personality traits, emotional and behavioral difficulties and develop an understanding of the nature of such difficulties.

We strive to provide parents and caretakers with appropriate diagnoses, treatment recommendations and suggest interventions, support, resources and creative therapies for each child. We use pre-screening measures and questionnaires, cognitive assessments and achievement tests along with interviews and mental health assessments to measure how a child is doing in school, at home and in the community.

These assessments seek to measure each child’s academic habits, motivation, visual and auditory processing skills, fine/gross motor skills and executive processes. The results of our comprehensive assessments inform behavioral, social and educational intervention recommendations for parents, educators, physicians and other professionals who may be involved in a child or teen’s physical and mental health.

Advocating for Your Child

Our licensed clinical psychologists are able to provide all of the above services with the support of other Stramski Center team members to better assist families and their children in their journey toward improved mental and physical health. Our psychologists often serve as a conduit between children and their parents, schoolteachers, principals and administrators, as well as other physicians.

We seek to support families with their children’s academic needs by attending school meetings, Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 plan meetings, and serve as mentors, advisors and liaisons as needed. When working with each child, our goal is to understand individual barriers, cultural or linguistic difficulties, socioeconomic factors and other medical challenges which may impact treatment and prognosis while at the same time highlighting and working from strengths.

It is our hope that our team will help others understand specific needs rather than labels and overcome hurdles by following recommendations. Our clinical psychologists focus on teaching parents and caregivers how to encourage their children, provide appropriate boundaries and structure and help them succeed academically through tactics aimed to improve focus and concentration, memory and communication. Psychological testing complements our approach to assessment, and we strive to provide the best care through expertise, compassion and data.

We collaborate with community agencies, regional centers, ABA providers and programs of higher education. We provide specialized track experiences for pre-doctoral students and work with other university programs to provide students with field experience.
