Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in Montvale, NJ
I am a staff neuropsychologist at Trinity Psychological Services LLC. I work with children ages 4 through 21 who demonstrate a range of neurodevelopmental (e.g., ADHD, learning disabilities, language disorders, etc.), psychiatric (e.g., anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, etc.), or medical concerns (e.g., diabetes, congenital heart defects, neurofibromatosis, childhood cancers, etc.). The goals of my assessments are to help children further understand themselves, identify evidence-based supports for children/families, and help parents/young adults prioritize services. My recommendations are tailored to your child's needs.

Comprehensive treatment includes learning new strategies but also self-care as well as acceptance of how ADHD might have affected your past.
Do you have great ideas but trouble achieving your goals? Is it hard sticking to tasks that take a long time or that require concentration? Have attention issues caused anxiety or made you doubt your abilities? ADHD symptoms can make you feel overwhelmed and cause difficulty managing day to day tasks. Maybe others have made schedules for you or tried to help you get more organized. But real growth comes from understanding how your brain works, gaining confidence in your own abilities, and learning to treat yourself with compassion and grace as you work towards creating the life you want to live.

Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists
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.
