Get to know, and build upon, your strengths as a parent, as a student, as a human! Don't hesitate to reach out to connect and see how A Poklar Ponders may be of support on you and/or your child's journey to an understanding, and acceptance, of self!.
There are a lot of expectations on humans of all ages, but particularly on parents and today's youth! As a previous special education teacher, licensed psychologist, and mother of 4, it is no surprise that these expectations often feel overwhelming or insurmountable for us as individuals and for our family units. As a parent, do you need support navigating all that confusing and contradictory parenting advice? Do you have a child in K-12 (or are you a teen) struggling academically or in connecting with others in a way that feels true to yourself? Have you experienced trauma and want to know how it impacts your daily functioning?

The goal of all evaluations is to help you and those working with your child to better understand your child's strengths and weaknesses, to make any diagnoses (if appropriate), and to provide specific, individualized recommendations to foster your child's optimal cognitive, academic, and psychological functioning.
Does your child struggle with learning? Do you think your child needs educational accommodations or supports? Evaluating children and adolescents, I work to develop a comfortable atmosphere where your children can be themselves and strive to do their best when completing testing. I do all of the testing myself. I value the time I spend listening, learning about your children, and watching how they problem-solve. I want to know more than just whether their answers are right or wrong, but how they went about reaching them. This helps me provide useful recommendations to help foster your child's overall development.
