  • Neurocognitive Disorders and Independence (e.g., Alzheimer’s Disease, Traumatic Brain Injury, power of attorney)

  • Behavior and Impulse Control Disorders (e.g. Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder)

  • Diagnostic clarity related to symptoms of overactivation or problematic personality patterns (e.g., Bipolar Disorders, Personality Syndromes)

  • Facilitating placement in schools and associated programs, providing appropriate accommodations (e.g., academically gifted program, accommodations for college, accommodations for tests such as SAT’s or BAR exam).

  • Academic Achievement and Learning Disorders

  • Ruling out significant forms of thought dysfunction (e.g., schizophrenia)

    Forensic Assessments
