Experience, Expertise, Engagement
The API team provides the most diagnostically accurate and prognostically successful assessments within the field. We set a standard of best practice with highly trained, credentialed evaluators who have extensive expertise in brain development, child psychology, and education.
Brain Development
Brain development begins before birth and continues through adulthood. The basic architecture of the brain is influenced by a myriad of factors, including relationships, experiences, and the environment. Our understanding of the complex architecture of the brain allows us to remediate, enhance, and enrich a child’s social-emotional and learning experiences.
Child Psychology
Cognitive, emotional, and social capacities are inextricably intertwined and develop throughout our lives. Social and emotional competencies provide a strong foundation for emerging cognitive abilities, and facilitate brain architecture. Our background in child psychology allows us to understand the ‘whole child’ and formulate a plan to optimize social-emotional development.
Education
Beyond parenting, school is the most important platform for a child’s development. Our understanding of students’ learning aptitudes within the context of their experiences in school allows us to formulate a plan to maximize their academic potential.
