At The Cognition Crew, we partner with families across Connecticut to provide comprehensive, independent evaluations and consultation services designed to promote clarity, collaboration, and student growth.
When questions arise about learning, attention, executive functioning, or academic progress, families deserve clear answers and practical next steps. Our evaluations are conducted by certified school psychologists with specialized training in both psychology and education. We focus not only on identifying areas of need, but on building a roadmap forward.
Whether you are exploring a psychoeducational evaluation or Neuropsychological evaluation in Connecticut, seeking an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE), or preparing for a PPT meeting, our goal is to support informed and collaborative decision-making.
We provide independent evaluations for families seeking clarity in the following areas:
Psychoeducational evaluations
Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs)
ADHD and executive functioning assessments
Learning disability evaluations (reading, writing, math)
Academic achievement testing including Gifted Assessments
Social-emotional and behavioral assessment, including Autism Assessments
Consultation related to 504 Plans and IEP eligibility
Neuropsychological Evaluations
If you are unsure whether your child may need an evaluation, you may find it helpful to review the signs your child may need a psychoeducational evaluation.
When families are navigating eligibility decisions, we also help clarify the differences between a 504 Plan and an IEP in Connecticut and support preparation for PPT meetings in Connecticut in a collaborative and school-aligned manner.
All evaluations are conducted by certified school psychologists with advanced training in:
Cognitive and academic assessment
Executive functioning and attention
Special education eligibility criteria
Connecticut educational systems and procedures
Evidence-based intervention planning
Because our evaluators are trained at the intersection of psychology and education, our reports are designed to align with school-based processes and promote productive working relationships between home and school.
If you are deciding between professionals, you may find it helpful to read about why families often choose a school psychologist for their child’s evaluation.
We understand that families have busy schedules. Evaluations are typically conducted after school hours — including evenings and weekends — unless otherwise arranged.
Testing sessions are held at an agreed-upon, appropriate location to ensure comfort, privacy, and optimal performance. We work collaboratively with families to schedule sessions in a way that minimizes disruption to the student’s school day whenever possible.
We begin with a consultation to understand your concerns, review relevant history, and determine whether an evaluation is appropriate. During this conversation, we clarify your goals and answer questions about the evaluation process.
Assessment results are carefully scored, analyzed, and interpreted through an educational lens. We examine patterns across cognitive processing, academic achievement, executive functioning, and social-emotional functioning.
Once services are confirmed, we coordinate testing dates that align with your family’s schedule. We provide clear guidance regarding consent forms, background information, and any materials needed prior to testing.
Our school psychologists conduct thorough, research-based assessments tailored to your child’s needs. Testing is completed in structured sessions designed to reduce fatigue and support accurate results
Families receive a comprehensive, clearly written report with detailed findings and actionable recommendations. We schedule a feedback meeting to review results, answer questions, and discuss next steps.
Our goal is not simply to provide data — it is to ensure you understand what the data means and how to use it effectively.
At The Cognition Crew, we believe families and schools are on the same team. Our evaluations are structured to support collaboration, not conflict.
Whether we are conducting an independent psychoeducational evaluation in Connecticut or completing an IEE, we focus on clarity, objectivity, and educational relevance. Our recommendations are designed to be practical, realistic, and aligned with school systems.
When appropriate, we support families in preparing for productive, solution-focused PPT meetings that keep the student at the center of decision-making.
We provide independent evaluation and consultation services for families throughout Connecticut. Our mission is to promote understanding, strengthen collaboration, and support student success through thoughtful, comprehensive assessment.
