John's clinical work centers on psychological evaluation of children and adolescents — attention, learning, development, autism, and the tangled diagnostic questions in between — with particular experience evaluating children with complex medical histories and rare genetic conditions, where careful instrument selection and interpretation matter most. He also evaluates adults across the same range of questions.
The philosophy of the practice is simple: measurement you can act on. A good evaluation answers the question it was asked, in language the people who love and teach the child can use, with recommendations specific enough to start on Monday. Reports are written for the IEP meeting, the pediatrician's chart, and the kitchen table — not the filing cabinet.
Families navigating school systems will find a psychologist fluent in how IEP and 504 processes actually work, and how an evaluation should be written to support them.
