Rebecca’s evaluation experience includes neurodevelopmental and learning disabilities, including diagnoses of ADHD, ASD, language disabilities, intellectual disability, and socioemotional assessment, including mood, anxiety, depression, psychotic spectrum, and personality disorders. Rebecca believes feedback and recommendations are the heart of evaluation, helping families and children identify and reduce barriers, including academic, social, and emotional challenges. Rebecca approaches evaluations from a strength-based approach. To facilitate this process, Rebecca prioritizes a strong rapport to ensure the findings are representative and of high quality to inform future directions. Rebecca has experience conducting psychoeducational evaluations for students in the New York and Connecticut school systems. These reports support the IEP and 504 process to create equitable access to an individual’s learning environment.
