Acorn is a psychological evaluation center for all neurodevelopmental questions (e.g., Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities like dyslexia, giftedness, ‘PDA’, twice-exceptionality, intellectual disabilities, anxiety, challenging behaviors, etc.) for ages 0-21.
Acorn firmly grounds itself in a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach, meaning that we work WITH your child every step of the way to capitalize on their strengths and buffer their areas of growth. At Acorn, we believe an evaluation is a form of advocacy.
Dr. Reed also consults to Dr. Becky at Good Inside, where she leads the “neurodivergent kids room”, and pulls from many related strategies to empower parents in her recommendations.
Acorn is a new business that also understands the pull between wait lists and paying exorbitant prices. Acorn is willing to work with parents on pricing as it grows into a mighty oak tree!
