Child & Teen Evaluations
Autism, ADHD, OCD and dyslexia evaluations for your child or teen, provided with understanding and care.
Clarity for your child. A real plan for what comes next.
Your curiosity has turned to concern and something isn’t adding up.
Maybe your child is:
Bright but overwhelmed
Social, but exhausted afterward
Struggling in school in ways that don’t quite make sense
Melting down, shutting down, or holding it together until they can’t
Being misunderstood and mislabeled as “lazy,” “anxious,” or “not trying hard enough”
Or maybe you’ve been told:
“Let’s wait and see.”
“They’re fine.”
“It’s just a phase.”
You know it’s not that simple. You want to truly understand your child and support their needs. To do that you need the right information and an affirming, supportive team. We’re glad you’ve found Neuron & Rose Psychological Services; we offer autism, ADHD, OCD and dyslexia evaluations for children (8+) and teens.
What parents are really asking (even if they don’t say it out loud)
Will my child be understood and not just reduced to a checklist?
Will this actually help them with the support they need for school?
Will I know what to do after we get the report?
Will this be thorough enough that we don’t have to redo this later?
Will someone guide me through this, or am I on my own?
At Neuron & Rose, we’ve designed our entire process around these questions and our understanding of how neurodivergent brains work in their most formative years.
What makes Neuron & Rose’s Evaluations Different?
Most evaluations focus on, “Does your child meet criteria?” while we ask, “What’s actually going on for your child and how can we support them in the areas that matter?”
Masking-aware assessment: The behavior is not the child, and we know that kids who hold it together at school usually fall apart at home. We consider the whole child, not just overt presentations.
Neuroaffirming approach: No one is broken or hopeless. We understand how your child’s brain works in context.
Clinicians with lived experience: Most of us are neurodivergent ourselves (and all of us were kids and teens). When we say we get it, we get it.
Sensory-aware, kid-centered process: We adapt to your child and use developmentally appropriate approaches to evaluate them.
Your child is an individual: We dive deep where it matters; no rushing to conclusions or enforcing stereotypes. Your child is unique and we’re here to help them be their best selves.
What you actually leave with (that most clinics skip)
We don’t just stop at a diagnosis, should there be one. We provide a clear, usable roadmap to help support your child’s life to start working better now.

What the Neuron & Rose process looks like
We keep things structured, transparent, and as low-stress as possible.
Step 1: Intake & history - We gather a deep understanding of your child’s development, strengths, and current challenges.
Step 2: Assessment sessions - Testing is tailored to your child—paced and adjusted to reduce overwhelm.
Step 3: Feedback session - You get clear answers, not jargon. We walk through what’s going on and what it means.
Step 4: Comprehensive report - Delivered within a defined timeframe, with practical recommendations you can actually use.
Step 5: Optional support - Guidance on school, therapy, and implementation—so you’re not left holding a report and wondering, “what now?”
How Long Does The Whole Process Take?
We recognize that every family is different, so certain steps may take longer for certain kids. While exact timing can vary, most families move through the process in a similar timeline.

Finding The Right Fit
Most parents come in feeling some combination of :
Overwhelmed
Unsure if they’re overreacting
Worried they “missed something” earlier
Tired of not having clear answers
You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out, and you don’t have to do it alone. Part of our job here at Neuron & Rose Psychological services is to help you:
Make sense of what you’re seeing
Feel grounded in your understanding of your child
Move from confusion to clarity to action
If you feel like your child has been misunderstood or overlooked, that things look fine but aren’t, and you’re ready for clarity and a path forward, not just a label, you’re in the right place. We get it.
Stop Guessing and Talk to Us
For some, the diagnostic process is about more than just finding answers, it's about making sure your child is being truly seen and heard. For small children and teens, being able to share their stories in their own words can help begin the healing experience, especially if they’ve been dismissed in the past. Contact Neuron & Rose Psychological Services today for a free 15 minute consultation to see how we can help support your family.
