At Liv Associates, we specialize in comprehensive evaluations for children and adolescents to identify a wide range of learning-related challenges. Our evaluations help pinpoint specific areas of difficulty and provide recommendations for targeted interventions and accommodations. If your child or teen is struggling at home or in school with learning tasks, an assessment can offer valuable insights into their strengths and weaknesses, allowing us to develop more effective learning strategies tailored to their needs.
We use current, standardized assessments to create a detailed learning profile that sheds light on how your child processes information compared to their peers. If your child is finding school particularly challenging or is having trouble mastering tasks that others their age have already accomplished, they may be facing a learning disability. It's important to note that learning disabilities are not a reflection of intelligence; many children with learning disabilities have average or even above-average intelligence but experience difficulties in one or more areas of learning.
The first step in supporting your child is often through a formal evaluation to better understand their individual strengths and challenges. At Liv Associates, our goal is to provide you, your family, and—if desired—your child's school with clear, individualized recommendations to help your child learn and function more effectively.
Each evaluation is tailored to the child’s specific needs. The process begins with an initial consultation between parents and one of our psychologists, during which we gather key information about your concerns and discuss the questions you’re hoping to address (e.g., “Does my child have ADHD?” or “Does my child have a learning disorder?”). This personalized approach ensures that we provide the most relevant and actionable guidance for your child's success.
