Neurodevelopmental and Psychodiagnostic Evaluations
Guiding you on the right path.
Who We Serve and Our Approach
SDYP offers neurodevelopmental and psychodiagnostic assessment for children (5+ years old), adolescents, and adults. We collaboratively work with youth and adults to determine their individual assessment needs.
