As a parent, you want to see your child succeed in every facet of life. Unfortunately, some young students struggle more than others when it comes to school.

We offer ADHD assessments and other services that help us better understand your child’s learning disabilities. By knowing what’s holding them back, we can help them start on the road toward academic success and find joy in learning.

We’ve helped hundreds of young students identify their educational and emotional roadblocks and create plans to navigate them. Read our reviews to see what they say about our team of licensed educational psychologists.

What Are Licensed Educational Psychologists, and How Can They Help Children with Learning Disabilities?

Licensed educational psychologists (LEP) are psychologists with schooling, training and experience focused on education. They conduct private assessments, provide direct intervention services, consult with schools and families, as well as make professional recommendations for individuals who may experience learning and behavioral problems, regardless of age.

We aim to help students between the ages of 5 and 25 identify their learning difficulties and strengths in order to provide professional advice that helps them find social and academic prosperity.

At Mind by Design, we believe in taking a very comprehensive and well-rounded approach. That’s why we work with the student, their parents, and their educators to cover more ground and give them the best chance at success possible.

As the student’s parent, we want you to gain as much involvement as possible. We provide coaching to help you learn how to guide your young student as they navigate their academic roadblocks. We can also work with their school to devise academic plans that acknowledge their learning disability and give them the support they need to embrace their strengths.

Our Unique Qualifications

At Mind by Design, we specialize in a wide range of educational psychology services, including ADHD testing, Dyslexia testing, Autism testing, providing diagnosis as appropriate and recommending interventions and accommodations. We also provide IEP consulting for parents, so they can do their part to help their child succeed in school and in life.

Additional services offered include:

Occupational therapists
Speech therapists
Reading specialists
Special education teachers
Behaviorists

In addition to working with parents, we also partner with various educators and specialists like occupational therapists, development specialists, behaviorists, and more. This way, we can give each student a more well-rounded support system geared toward their academic performance.

With our extensive history working in the public education system, we acquired a distinct familiarity with the California Public Education Code. This helps us to improve our learning intervention strategies by focusing on delivering rational, effective, and manageable solutions. Our techniques are appropriate for both public and private school settings, so no matter how your child learns, we can give them the tools they need to thrive.

What Happens During a Psycho-Educational Assessment and What You Can Expect

When you decide to meet with an educational psychologist it’s important to know what to expect.

The Mind by Design team of clinicians consists of licensed educational psychologists, education specialists, clinical psychologists and speech and language pathologists. No two cases are the same, so we want to take our time to get to know you and your student, identify their individual struggles and strengths, and find the most appropriate tools for their success.

You can expect the following process to take place when you contact our team.

Step 1

Background Examination

The first thing we do is get some background on your student. Doing this and examining their school records gives us a greater insight into who the student is and what their academic performance looks like.

Step 2

Interviews

Once we have a basic understanding of who your child is, we conduct interviews with them, you as the parent(s), and the student's teachers. This gives us an even more in-depth understanding of the student and their learning performance.

Step 3

Behavior Rating Scales

Behavior rating scales are something that we use to get a better understanding of your child's strengths and difficulties.

Step 4

Testing

Next, we conduct processing, cognitive, and academic achievement testing typically over two sessions, with each session lasting three hours.

Step 5

Review the Results and Make a Report

We take the results from the tests and carefully analyze them to produce an accurate interpretation, which we then put into a detailed written report.

Step 6

Follow-Up

Finally, we schedule a follow-up meeting with you to discuss the results of the test and explain our recommendations. You can typically expect this follow-up meeting to occur two to three weeks following the tests.

We aim to give you the clarity you need to better understand what specific challenges your child faces and how we can work together to help the student overcome them.

Depending on the specific needs of your child and situation, we may also suggest speech and language testing, school observations, and autism-specific testing. We'll discuss any recommendations with you during the testing process.

Can Seeing an Educational Psychologist Benefit Your Child in Saratoga?

Every child learns differently, so how do you know if yours need additional guidance from an educational psychologist in Saratoga, CA?

Our Expertise in Learning Disabilities

Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Social cognitive disorders
Dyslexia
Depression
Anxiety

By offering both clinical (DSM 5) and educational (IDEA) diagnoses, we can help create more effective and personalized strategies that target your child’s distinct learning challenges.

These diagnoses receive recognition from public and private education systems. As such, we can use them to create IEPs (Individualized Education Plans) and Section 504 Plans, which can provide the student with special accommodations, services, and support.

We don’t just want to give your child the tools to succeed, though.
