PSYCHOTHERAPY
DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATIONS
Mrs. Fleming-Thomas specializes in diagnostic evaluations, including comprehensive psychoeducational and ADHD evaluations for individuals aged 16 and above. Diagnostic evaluations offer a thorough assessment of various aspects that impact learning, academic and career success, emotional well-being, behavioral functioning, and overall well-being. They encompass areas such as academic achievement, cognitive processing abilities, executive functioning, psychosocial adjustment, mental health, memory, language, processing speed, and visual-perceptual skills.
These evaluations yield multiple outcomes: clarifying diagnoses, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and providing tailored recommendations. They also assist in obtaining academic support, accommodations, and creating personalized treatment plans. ALCAS is committed to delivering high-quality evaluations for individuals to achieve success in all areas of life. Whether you're a young student struggling in school, a college applicant seeking personalized strategies or academic accommodations, or an adult looking to enhance your skillset, these evaluations dive deep into your strengths and challenges to pave the way for success and support.
Mrs. Fleming-Thomas understands the importance of timely support and collaborates closely with clients to schedule evaluations in a timely fashion. Finalized reports are provided promptly, ensuring comprehensive assessments that inform recommendations, academic accommodations, and treatment needs as required.
