Psychological Evaluations
Does your child struggle with learning, social interaction, or emotional regulation? You're not alone. Many children face challenges related to autism and learning disorders, and sometimes, understanding the "why" behind these struggles can be the key to unlocking their full potential.
This is where we come in. Dr. Kay offers comprehensive evaluations specifically designed to assess for Autism, ADHD and learning disorders in children and adolescents.
What is Offered:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Evaluations: Utilizing standardized tools and observations to understand your child's social communication, repetitive behaviors, and sensory processing.
- Learning Disorder Evaluations: Dr. Kay assesses for conditions like dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ADHD, identifying specific strengths and weaknesses in reading, writing, math, and executive functioning.
- Compassionate and Collaborative Approach: Dr. Kay believes in working closely with you, the parents or caregivers, to create a personalized evaluation experience that feels supportive and informative.
- Clear and Actionable Results: You'll receive a comprehensive report outlining your child's diagnosis, along with tailored recommendations for interventions and support.
The goal is simple: to empower you and your child with the knowledge and resources needed to thrive. With a deeper understanding of their unique needs, you can unlock their potential for learning, growth, and connection.
IEP Guidance & Advocacy
Navigating the complexities of special education can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to crafting and advocating for an effective Individualized Education Program (IEP). That's where IEP advocacy services come in – providing crucial support and guidance to ensure your child receives the educational resources and accommodations they deserve.
Why Choose IEP Advocacy?
- Knowledge and Expertise: IEP advocates are well-versed in special education law, regulations, and best practices. They can help you understand your child's rights, interpret evaluations, and advocate for appropriate services.
- Collaborative Approach: Effective advocates work closely with you, your child's teachers, and other professionals to develop a comprehensive IEP that addresses your child's unique needs and goals.
- Confidence and Empowerment: Knowing you have an experienced advocate on your side can give you the confidence to participate actively in the IEP process and advocate for your child's best interests.
- Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Dealing with IEPs can be emotionally challenging. Advocates can alleviate stress by handling paperwork, communication, and negotiations with the school district.
What IEP Advocacy Services Can Do:
- Review and analyze evaluations and data
- Help you understand your child's strengths and weaknesses
- Collaborate with you to develop IEP goals and objectives
- Attend IEP meetings and provide support and guidance
- Negotiate with the school district to ensure your child's needs are met
- Monitor and track progress toward IEP goals
- Provide resources and information about special education rights and laws
Applied behavior analysis
What is ABA?
ABA is a scientific approach to understanding and modifying behavior. It's based on the principle that all behavior is learned and influenced by its environment. Through positive reinforcement and carefully designed interventions, ABA therapists can help individuals develop new skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and improve their overall quality of life.
How does ABA help children?
ABA therapy can be customized to address a wide range of needs in children, including:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): ABA is a core evidence-based treatment for ASD, helping children improve communication, social interaction, and emotional regulation.
- Learning disabilities: ABA can address specific learning challenges like dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ADHD by focusing on skill acquisition and behavior management.
- Developmental delays: ABA can support children who are lagging in areas like speech, motor skills, or cognitive development.
- Challenging behaviors: ABA can help manage behaviors like tantrums, aggression, or self-injurious actions by identifying triggers and implementing positive reinforcement strategies.
BCBA Fieldwork Supervision
To become a BCBA, individuals must complete specific educational requirements, accumulate supervised experience hours, and pass a certification exam. The fieldwork supervision component is a crucial part of the certification process.
During fieldwork supervision, a BCBA supervisor provides guidance, feedback, and support to individuals seeking certification. The supervisor helps the trainee gain practical experience in applying behavior analytic principles and techniques, conducting assessments, developing behavior intervention plans, and working with clients.
