Post-Assessment Recommendations

After the parent interview and all assessments are completed, scored, and interpreted, Dr. Jimenez gets to work on writing up recommendations for both the home and school environments.  Based on your child’s unique strengths, areas for growth, and struggles, the perspective of the school, mom and dad, and the child, through subjective and objective testing, Dr. Jimenez provides recommendations for both home and school environments.

As a parent, you are the best advocate for your child and Dr. Jimenez is ready to help guide you in that process.  There are things you can do at home to help set your child up for success and things that you can advocate for in the school to help your child do their best work.  As a person who loves to help others, there is no greater reward than to help share recommendations and resources for children, adolescents, and their families to succeed, accomplish their goals, and take control of their lives with clarity and focus.   

Recommendations serve as a guide for you to be able to take action steps in assisting your child’s growth and development.  For example, sometimes reading a particular book, bringing your child to therapy, or asking for modifications in school may be recommended.  Other recommendations may include the name of a few specific summer camps or after school programs that may help further develop your child’s interest in math, science, or engineering.  Dr. Jimenez works hard to find local resources for each family she works with so that your work is a bit easier.   

The recommendations are truly individualized and are as unique as your child and family.  Just a few examples of what is taken into consideration while writing recommendations are: the results of each portion of the testing individually and in context, the social interests of your family, family finances, interests of your child, strengths and areas for growth of your child, and school resources.
