From Questions to Answers
You’ve been told your child is bright but not applying themselves. Or that they’ll grow out of it. Or that the school needs documentation before anything changes.
A comprehensive evaluation replaces opinion with data — and gives you a report that schools have to respond to.
Evaluations
A report that answers the question you actually asked.
When a child is struggling, most of what you receive is interpretation. Teachers see one setting. You see another. Neither view is complete, and neither is documentation.
An evaluation measures how your child thinks, learns, processes information, and regulates attention and emotion. It produces a written record with specific findings and specific recommendations.
Our evaluations are conducted by a Licensed Educational Psychologist and Certified School Psychologist with fifteen years of experience across school and clinical settings — someone who has sat on both sides of the IEP table and knows what a report needs to contain to be actionable.
WHAT AN EVALUATION PROVIDES
Clarity Through Comprehensive Assessment
✔ Cognitive strengths and learning differences, measured rather than inferred
✔ Attention, executive functioning, and emotional regulation, assessed formally
✔ Academic achievement mapped against ability, which is where discrepancies surface
✔ Documentation that meets school, university, and testing-agency requirements
✔ Recommendations specific to your child, usable at home and in an IEP or 504 meeting
✔ A results consultation in plain language, not a report you have to decode alone
WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE BETTER BEING
More than a diagnosis. A roadmap for success.
CHOOSING AN EVALUATION
Individualized Assessment for Specific Questions
Choosing the right evaluation can feel overwhelming. Our specialized assessments are designed to answer specific questions, identify strengths and challenges, and provide practical recommendations that support learning, development, and future success.
ADHD Evaluation
Attention, impulsivity, organization, and follow-through affect performance well beyond the classroom. This evaluation assesses attention, executive functioning, behavioral regulation, and social-emotional functioning to determine whether ADHD is present — and what to do either way.
Executive Functioning Evaluation
Planning, organization, time management, emotional regulation, and task completion. This assessment identifies where the breakdown occurs and provides strategies that build independence rather than dependence on adult scaffolding.
Gifted Evaluation
Advanced reasoning and problem-solving deserve appropriate placement. This evaluation documents cognitive strengths for enrichment and gifted program admission.
Private School Admission Evaluation
A full picture of cognitive and academic ability for admissions review, plus a learning profile you keep regardless of the outcome.
College Accomodation Evaluation
Students entering college may qualify for accommodations, but only with documentation that meets institutional and testing-agency standards. This evaluation produces documentation built to those requirements.
Comprehensive Psychoeducational Evaluation
For the question “why is my child struggling” when nobody has given you a straight answer. This assessment examines cognitive ability, academic achievement, attention, executive functioning, behavior, and social-emotional functioning to identify learning disabilities, ADHD, giftedness, and other contributing factors.
