We specialize in emotion regulation support and psychological evaluations for children (age 2 and up), teens, and young adults up to age 22. Our focus is on providing families with clear diagnoses and actionable guidance for home, school, and daily life.
What We Test For (Domains & Measures)
Every child is unique, and testing looks different depending on your concerns. At Orchid Psychological Services, evaluations commonly address:
- Learning Difficulties (reading, writing, math struggles)
- Attention & Executive Functioning (focus, organization, following directions)
- Developmental Concerns (delays in communication, play, or social interaction)
- Autism Spectrum (social communication, flexibility, sensory sensitivities)
- Emotional & Behavioral Functioning (anxiety, mood, or behavior challenges)
Why it matters:
These evaluations answer the “why” behind your child’s struggles and provide clear, practical guidance for what to do at home, in school, and with other providers.
