What Parents Need to Know About Psychoeducational Evaluations
As a psychologist & school psychologist near Houston, I specialize in psychoeducational evaluations to help struggling children.

Testing includes cognitive abilities, academic achievement, social-emotional, and school & home functioning. I offer an intake interview and feedback session, aiming to empower parents to support their child's success. Schedule a complimentary, 15-minute consultation today.
