Psycho-Educational Testing
Led by Kristen Wilson, ANCKRD utilizes a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that focuses on understanding the whole person rather than simply identifying a diagnosis. Through in-depth assessment and analysis, we evaluate the underlying skills that influence learning, attention, executive functioning, emotional regulation, behavior, and overall performance in educational, social, personal and professional settings.
Our goal is to provide clear answers, practical recommendations, and meaningful strategies that can be implemented immediately. Whether an individual is struggling academically, experiencing developmental concerns, seeking accommodations, or looking to better understand their unique learning profile, our evaluations are designed to deliver actionable insights that support long-term success.
Rather than focusing on a single concern, our evaluations consider multiple areas of functioning to identify factors that may be contributing to difficulties and uncover strengths that can be leveraged for growth. This comprehensive approach helps families, students, educators, and professionals make informed decisions regarding support services, accommodations, interventions, and future planning.
