I specialize in assessments for academic difficulties, learning disorders, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, capacity assessments, social-emotional well-being, autism, anxiety, and depression.
I genuinely believe that people do well if they can! Everyone wants to succeed and feel capable and confident in their life. Struggles often stem from very real obstacles in the way. A quality assessment can be instrumental in creating a meaningful and effective way forward. I specialize in comprehensive assessments to provide insight into areas of strengths, skill development, advocacy, and support. There is no one right way to approach thinking, learning or experiencing life. I offer parent and school consultation to improve connection and family relationships and help people thrive in all aspects of their life.

Hi, I'm Keely. I complete assessments for students who are between the ages of 5 and 22. Most people think comprehensive assessments produce lengthy reports filled with complex language and few practical recommendations. I aim to write family-friendly reports with everyday strategies to support students across multiple environments. The families I work with appreciate my communication throughout the assessment process and my strength-based approach.

How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
