Psychological Testing

When concerns arise about a child's development or learning abilities, a psychological evaluation can help identify their unique strengths and challenges. This process allows us to offer parents, schools, and other providers evidence-based strategies to support the child’s success across various settings. Each evaluation is customized to address specific concerns, using observations, interviews, and testing to ensure an ethical and transparent approach to supporting the child's development and interests.

Parent Advocacy & Consultation

We offer services that assist in navigating the special education system through understanding the Full and Individual Evaluation (FIE) process, developing or reviewing effective Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), initiating or monitoring Section 504 plans, and reviewing Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) documentation, including progress monitoring data.

We believe effective communication is key to providing quality care. With that in mind, we wanted to share a few things we hope you'll find helpful. If you have more questions, email us at drniekema@btpsychservices.com
