Dr. Scott's Approach
Dr. Scott focuses her practice solely on the special needs and issues
faced by children, adolescents, and young adults (pre-k through
college). She identifies learning and behavioral strengths and
challenges, develops appropriate interventions, and helps families
obtain needed services. Dr. Scott also has experience working within
the public school system, so she understands the referral and
evaluation process as well as schools’ expectations of student
performance.

Approach to Learning Issues
Dr. Scott begins with an in-depth assessment aimed at
developing a comprehensive profile of your child's strengths,
challenges, and interests. These analyses include functions of the
brain that affect learning and performance including memory, language,
attention, and the ability to organize information. Using this
information, Dr. Scott helps you and your child understand how he or
she learns. She also develops appropriate interventions that are
understandable to parents, teachers, and physicians.

Approach to Behavioral Concerns
Dr. Scott uses a similar approach for behavioral concerns at home and
school. She works to identify the causes of these concerns and
recommends proven intervention strategies. These “user friendly”
strategies provide parents and teachers with proactive ways to minimize
problematic behaviors. Her interventions have helped with such issues
as attention problems (ADD/ADHD), defiance, depression, and anxiety.
