How to get support
We focus on comprehensive diagnostic evaluations that discover your child's strengths (and how to utilize them) as well as your child's areas of growth, and how to support them. Dr Ferdico specializes in creating support plans for parents with specific action plans.
Most learning disability assessments focus on achievement. Dr Ferdico does a deep dive into reading, writing or math to discover exactly which process is causing your child's learning struggle in order to recommend targeted interventions, saving time, money, and frustration. She utilizes modern assessments that dive deeper into the brain processes used in reading, writing and math to find the best interventions for each child.
We work with all local schools for Early Kindergarten assessments, private school entrance assessments and giftedness assessments.
As an expert in neurodevelopmental disorders, Dr Ferdico is often called upon for IME's, medical records review, creating parenting plans that are best for neurodivergent children, and testifying in court.
