About Stephanie.

Psychological assessments.
Stephanie offers comprehensive assessments for neurodevelopmental differences, including autism, learning difficulties, and intellectual abilities. Each assessment is tailored to the individual’s needs, providing clear insights that empower individuals and families to understand their unique strengths and support needs. This is an assessment-only service, meaning we do not provide ongoing therapy.
What to expect.
At Stephanie Yavion Psychology, the assessment process helps individuals and families gain a clear understanding of thinking, learning, and neurodevelopmental differences. It begins with an intake and questionnaires to gather background information and concerns. Depending on the needs of the person being assessed, the process may include a structured clinical interview, direct testing, or observations. Afterward, a feedback session will take place to explain the findings in a clear, practical way and discuss next steps. The goal is to provide meaningful insights that build on strengths and support informed decision-making at home, school, work, or in daily life.
Why consider an assessment?
An assessment can provide valuable insights into how you think and learn. Whether you or your child experience differences in attention, learning, social interactions, or emotional regulation, a comprehensive evaluation can help clarify these areas. An assessment can also help you access the right supports. While we do not offer therapy, we provide recommendations to help you find the best next steps to empower you to navigate home, school, work, and daily life with confidence.
Frequently asked questions.
