Get answers. Get a plan. Help your child thrive.
Overwhelmed is an understatement.
We get it — your stomach drops when another email shows up from your child’s teacher. You’re hearing (again) that something’s not clicking… that your child might need extra support… or that it’s time to consider testing.
It’s a lot to carry. And you’re not alone.
At Maitland Mental Health Co., we offer comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations to help uncover what’s really going on — and give you clear next steps. Whether your child is struggling with reading, attention, emotions, or a mix of everything, this process is designed to bring clarity, support, and relief.
You’ll learn how your child learns best, what’s been getting in the way, and how to help them move forward — confidently.
"I really love this part of my job. I love finding out how a child learns best."
— Farah Downs, Licensed School Psychologist & Founder of MMHC

💡 Gifted Testing

Wondering if your child is gifted? (Of course you are — don’t we all 😉)

🧩 Autism Screening (If Appropriate)
🧩 Autism Screening (If Appropriate)
If autism is a potential concern, we can include screening tools and observational measures as part of your child’s evaluation. This helps identify whether further diagnostic assessment may be needed, and gives families and schools a clearer understanding of your child’s social, emotional, and sensory profile.
