Frequently Asked Questions
Why might I need to see an immigration psychologist?
You might need to see an immigration psychologist if you're going through an immigration process that requires psychological immigration evaluations or support. This could include situations like asylum applications, hardship waivers, or other legal cases where emotional or mental health factors are relevant. An immigration psychologist can provide assessments, reports, or therapy to help address the challenges associated with immigration, such as trauma, cultural adjustment, or stress.
How can an autism diagnostic assessment help my child receive services at school?
An autism diagnostic assessment can help your child receive services at school by providing a formal diagnosis, which is often required to access special education programs or accommodations. It helps identify your child’s specific needs, strengths, and challenges, allowing the school to create an individualized education program (IEP) or provide tailored support, such as therapy, classroom adjustments, or additional resources to help your child succeed academically and socially.
Can a school psychological evaluation help my child with ADHD?
Yes, a school psychological evaluation can help your child with ADHD. It can identify their specific needs, strengths, and challenges, which can be used to create an effective support plan, such as an IEP or a 504 Plan, to ensure they receive appropriate accommodations and resources for their learning and development.
