Welcome to The Clinic at PAW, a professional practice specializing in psycho-educational evaluations located within Psychotherapy  Associates of Winchester. Our mission is to support individuals and families by providing comprehensive assessments that promote a better understanding of cognitive, academic, and emotional strengths and challenges.

​

We offer psycho-educational evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults who may be experiencing academic difficulties, learning challenges, or behavioral concerns. Our evaluations are thorough and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Using a combination of standardized testing, interviews, and observational data, we aim to identify specific learning disorders, ADHD, autism, intellectual functioning, emotional / behavior functioning and other factors that may be influencing academic and /or life success. Upon completion of the evaluation, you will receive a detailed report that includes recommendations for educational interventions, accommodations, and strategies to support success. At The Clinic at PAW, we understand the importance of a well-rounded evaluation.
 

Evaluation services are provided by school psychologists Heidi Buckner and Buffie Kulton. Both Heidi and Buffie have significant experience in education and evaluation.  They are committed to working with clients to provide comprehensive psychological and educational evaluations that address referral concerns and provide clear, actionable treatment recommendations.

Fees for evaluation range between $2500 - $3000.  Details on the exact cost and payment will be provided upon initiation of a full evaluation.
