Learning and Language Specialists is a clinic specializing in neurocognitive diagnostics and treatments helping children, adolescents, and adults. For more than 30 years, we have helped individuals understand their cognitive potential.

Ours is a private practice, and all services are individual and personalized. We apply advanced methods and cutting-edge services for cognitive issues, executive (metacognitive) functioning, language and speech capabilities, neurocognitive skills, and neuropsychological challenges resulting from accidents or neurological impairments.

Our hallmark service is cognitive neuropsychological assessment. This comprehensive evaluation provides a complete picture of each individual's skills and variations. Areas tested include intelligence, achievement, learning efficiency, memory, language, auditory processing, perceptual motor skills, metacognitive abilities, and social skills/personality.

From the evaluation, our staff of doctoral and masters level psychologists, communication disorders specialists, and educators develops a profile and devises a plan for each client. Our multidisciplinary team integrates the latest knowledge and advances in cognitive psychology, special education, communication, and the neurosciences, carefully fitting all recommendations and strategies to each client's specific needs.

Executive/Attentional Disorders Can Be Helped

Individuals can find it difficult to complete tasks or stay focused. They also may contend with distractibility and impulsivity, finding goal setting, planning, and organization troublesome. It is not uncommon for them to process information less efficiently, express memory and concentration lapses, as well as struggle to solve problems or complete day-to-day tasks and assignments. Cognitive strategy training provides these individuals with a variety of tools and skills to break through these barriers and become more competent learners and efficient workers.
