I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist with over thirty years experience working in Bay Area school districts, in both urban and suburban settings. I have worked extensively with children who have learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, developmental delays, school phobia, social difficulties, and autism spectrum disorders.
Through formal and informal evaluation, I have helped many children to do better in school and feel better about themselves. I have worked with early intervention programs for children with a range of difficulties and opened the Center for Early Intervention of Autism in San Ramon Valley Unified School District which provides discrete trial skills for children as young as 18 months.

Services
I provide a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation for children and adults experiencing learning difficulties. This evaluation may include emotional, behavioral, adaptive functioning, general intellectual functioning, attention, language, visual spatial, motor, memory / learning, executive, academic areas.
If your child is having developmental difficulties and it has been suggested that he or she should be evaluated for an autism spectrum disorder, you're probably overwhelmed, and you may be trying to make sense out of conflicting information. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are complex conditions, and our understanding of them is evolving rapidly as researchers get more and more answers.
Generally, assessments take 9-15 hours of testing and five hours of test scoring and interpretation. Students are tested for two to three hours at a time, depending on their age. Reports are done as expeditiously as possible and can take 3- 5 hours. Every assessment begins with a parent interview aimed at learning developmental background, school history and areas of concern.
