Twenty years specializing in educational, neuropsychological and personality assessments for children and adolescents.

Over many years and thousands of students, I have had the privilege of working with parents who wish to understand or guide a child in their care.  Feedback from these caring adults and experience with their children has led to the development of clearly presented reports that identify strengths, weaknesses, and effective intervention.

The evaluation report:

·       Is based on tests administered personally by Dr. Van Ost

·       Is produced in timely manner.

·       Is jargon-free and easily understood

·       Describes strengths as well as weaknesses

·       Provides a realistic plan for immediate and longer-term intervention

·       Includes detailed and specific recommendations for intervention at home and school 

Parents and Teachers can use the evaluation report to:

• Clearly and accurately identify a child’s strengths and weaknesses
• Understand how to remediate educational and emotional difficulties 
• Develop strategies for home-based intervention 
• Choose among different schools and educational approaches 
• Plan for a child’s future education 
• Anticipate and prepare for future educational and emotional difficulties 
• Know what instruction and accommodations to request from the school and for the SAT/ACT examinations

Frequently Addressed Topics in Evaluation Reports:

• Identification of ADHD and its impact on educational, social, and emotional development 
• Executive Function 
• Identification and remediation of learning disabilities
• Identification of autism spectrum disorders 
• SAT/ACT Accommodations 
• GRE/LSAT/GMAT Accommodations
