PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL TESTING
It is sometimes necessary to perform standardized testing to obtain scores which can be used to obtain the most appropriate developmental and educational services. Sipora Katz-Janssen, M.Ed., Ed.S. is a school psychologist with a wealth of experience in the testing of toddlers, preschoolers and school-aged children. She provides top quality assessments which help us to formulate the most appropriate developmental and educational recommendations for your child. Sipora has also been valuable to parents by advocating for these services through the child's school district.
PARENT AND PATIENT COUNSELING
Parents are often looking for guidance managing the unique challenges of their child's special needs while trying to balance all other aspects of life: family, marriage, career, siblings of the child with special needs as well as other responsibilities. The child with neurodevelopmental vulnerabilities often has issues affecting behavior and social interactions which are frequently responsive to behavioral guidance from a trained professional. Diane Gould, LCSW, BCBA is a social worker and behavioral therapist with a well established record of success helping families of children with disabilities. She works with you and your child to implement an effective strategy tailored to decrease stress and improve competence in meeting the demands of your daily lives. In addition to seeing patients in our Skokie office, Diane at times sees patients in the home or in her Deerfield office.
