The Hallowell Centers are widely recognized for our thorough neuropsychological evaluations that integrate information from numerous sources including clinical interviews, school and medical records, behavioral observations, family history and cognitive test results. These neuropsychological evaluations are essential for an accurate diagnosis of behavioral/emotional and cognitive conditions and are tailored to meet the needs of the client and referring physician.

We look at treatment as the unwrapping of gifts guided by our model of strength-based assessment. Our plans include:
1.  Diagnosis and identification of talents, strengths, interests, and dreams
2.  Assessment of cognitive skills
3.  A consideration of medication
4.  Implementation of the five-step "cycle of excellence" plan (Diagnosis, Education, Structure, Psychotherapy, Medication)
5.  Education for the family and school
6.  Lifestyle changes
7.  Learning to use structure
8.  Counseling
9.  A consideration of Cog Med, and Neuro- & Bio- feedback Therapies
