ADHD

The essential feature of ADHD is a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity and/or impulsivity that interferes with functioning and/or development. Symptoms include difficulty staying focused, restlessness, excessive fidgeting, making careless mistakes, organizational problems, and memory issues.

AUTISM

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have impairment in social communication & interaction and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. Many individuals are high functioning and go undetected until late adolescence, while others are diagnosed very early in development.

PSYCHOLOGICAL

Psychological disorders are often identifiable in the early years of development. Early intervention may help the overall progression and life course of these disorders. Symptoms include sadness, outbursts, sleep problems, fatigue, lower concentration, irritability, muscle tension, and/or hypervigilance.

NEURODEVELOPMENTAL

A neurodevelopmental evaluation includes testing for deficits in many areas that occur during the developmental period, including ASD, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, communication disorders and specific learning disorders (e.g., dyslexia, dyscalculia), which affects social, academic & occupational functioning.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL

Neuropsychological evaluations examine the interaction of cognitive processing (e.g., memory, attention, verbal/visual processing, processing speed), executive functioning (e.g., organization, planning, impulse control), and psychological processes (e.g., emotion regulation, motivation, self-esteem, agitation).

PSYCHO-EDUCATIONAL

Psycho-educational evaluations examine problems related to learning (reading, writing, mathematics) as well as other influencing psychological factors. This evaluation looks at both areas to gain a better understanding of how the child/adolescent learns and what skills they need to develop to be successful.

TESTIMONIALS

“Kelsey’s self-esteem has greatly improved throughout the last year since we implemented recommendations from our psycho-educational evaluation. We now have a much greater understanding of her strengths and how to help with her weaknesses. Kelsey cried when she made honor roll, continued to make the honor roll all last year and now made a new goal for herself to make a different list. Her confidence has grown thanks to Dr. Geringer's help and understanding of how she thinks. Kelsey seems more like Kelsey. We couldn’t ask for much more than that.”
~ Mrs. Chun

“We see our boys with a whole new set of lenses and they are much clearer to us. I am so grateful for your patience and understanding. The changes we have made based on your recommendations have impacted our daily life tremendously.”
~ Ms. Mathews

"Dr. Geringer is the only Psychologist/Educational Specialist we would use for academic testing. We were fortunate to have her for our oldest daughter, who told us how friendly, patient and caring she was. When the results came in, I was nervous. But, Dr. Geringer explained the results in a positive way and was very patient. When we needed to have testing done for our youngest daughter, Dr. Geringer was the only psychologist we would consider! She is a consummate professional who I would strongly recommend to any parent."
