D., and Associates 301-565-0534 8720 Georgia Avenue, Suite 300, Silver Spring, MD 20910 WEBSITE: www.stixrud.com SERVICES: Neuropsychological Evaluation Advocacy/School Consultation Medicolegal Evaluation Our group is comprised of neuropsychologists and clinical psychologists who specialize in the assessment of students with learning difficulties, problems with attention and organization, and/or challenges in the social/emotional area. Using a brain-based model for our comprehensive evaluations allows us to provide a clear profile of a student’s cognitive, academic, and emotional strengths and weaknesses. This profile is then used to guide recommendations related to appropriate classroom instruction, as well as any interventions that may be needed to support the student’s academic performance (including tutoring, speech/language or occupational therapy, psychotherapy, or social skills training). For older students, the results from testing also are used to help guide decisions related to college selection, choosing an appropriate college major, and determining career direction. For information, please contact Starr Stixrud at 301-565-0534, extension 225. William R. Stixrud, Ph. D.
