                                               Learning Disability Evaluation
  •                                          Obtain history, physical examination, screen for learning disabilities on exam,
  •                                                                        review school records such as grades, IEP.
                                                                                 Review past Neuropsychologic or Psychologic testing.
                                                                                  Order new Neuropsychologic or Psychologic testing, as appropriate.
                                                                                  Review Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational and Physical Therapy evaluations.
                                                                                 Review Regional Center evaluations.
                                                                                  Generate a comprehensive impression and plan, including possible lab testing,
                                                                                  head MRI, EEG, and referral to other therapists as noted above and/or
                                                                                  audiologists, vision therapists, as appropriate.

     
                                               Laboratory testing for:
  • Allergies/ delayed hypersensitivities to foods
  • Autoimmune disease
  • Hormone levels
  • Genetic disorders
  • Genomics
  • Hypercoagulability, genetic and metabolic etiologies
  • Infections
  • Inflammation
  • Metabolic disorders
  • Mold exposure complications
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Toxicants (heavy metals, pesticides, solvents and others)
  • Toxins (mycotoxins, others)
     

       Neuro-diagnostic tests sometimes recommended:
  • Audiogram and tympanogram
  • Central Auditory Processing Testing
  • EEG including Quantitative EEG
  • Head MRI, MRA, MRV
  • Neuro SPECT
  • PET Scan
  • Polysomnogram
  • Refer out for EMG/NCS/and ENG
