I have been hesitating for years to do an evaluation to my daughter. I wished I haven't waited so long, as I feel I lost so much time. Valeria has helped me understand my daughter's struggles, and provided me with so much insight about how to help her at home. Also, Valeria advocated for my child at school, and I was able to get a 504 Plan in only two months. Now, my daughter enjoys learning.

OUR PSYCHO-EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT PROCESS INCLUDES:

 

 A strength-based approach.
It means we identify child’s areas for improvement as well as child’s talents. Both are equally important to help the child succeed in learning.

 

The most updated and advanced tests.
  To provide the most updated and accurate results.

 

Feedback meeting with parents. 
We take the feedback meeting seriously, with ample time to provide specific recommendations for home, school, and a detailed plan of development for the child.

 

Follow-up meeting.
We provide a follow-on meeting with the parents for further clarifications and implementation review.

 

Feedback meeting with school. 
 When requested, we provide results and request specific recommendations/accommodations for your child.

 

Communication with other professionals.
When requested, we communicate with the child’s pediatrician or other professionals to align on the treatment plan and the child’s current needs.

 

Network of top-rated therapists.
If necessary, we share with you our network of top-rated therapists and assist you in making an appointment with them.

 

School Accommodations 
We guide you through any medical plan or documentation process, such as the 504 Plan or Individual Educational Plan (IEP).

Hi, I'm Val Fontanals - a Harvard-educated, Licensed School Psychologist, award-winning learning expert. 

In the last 20 years of my clinical experience, I have been helping children with learning challenges to become their best version of themselves. How?

As a mom and learning expert, I know that children who struggle learning have less opportunities to do well academically and that impacts negatively in their self-esteem.

That is why the first step is to identify the cause/s of the child's learning challenges through a full psycho-educational assessment. That includes cognitive, language, attention, academic, or socio-emotional difficulties that could impact the learning process.

Understanding the root of the problem helps create an individualized plan for your child's academic success, that may include specific school accomodations (maybe a 504 PLan or IEP is needed), educational therapy, referral to neurologist, or other interventions.
 
I can assure you that after the assessment, you will have a full picture of your child's areas of strengths and weaknesses, and get parenting strategies to know how to best support your child at home. 

With it, you can eliminate the stress of not knowing what is going on with your child.

I am passionate to give my best to your children. Give me the chance to see one more time a happy and proud child say "I can!"

Love,
