My Steps & Approach
Tailored Assessments
The assessment begins with an interview with the clients and if they are under 18, the parents, in order to have full background history. With that, I am then able to determine the measures necessary to administer, in order to fully understand the client's obstacles, strengths, and goals. With these goals established, the assessment is thereby customized to fulfill that individual's particular needs and objectives.

2. Diagnoses
In our assessment sessions, I use the most recent, reliable and valid measures in order to arrive at the true diagnosis of the individual.

3. Scoring
After two to three testing sessions, between a total of four and seven hours depending on the situation, I score all the material, and then begin to write the report. If the client is a child or adolescent, there are usually two versions of the report; one including emotional functioning, and one without (for privacy and as the schools generally need only the cognitive information).

4. Reporting
After scoring the material, and incorporating the information gathered from the family or the individual regarding their background history (medical/emotional/academic}, I write the report, which usually is between 21 and 30 pages. It includes a list of recommendations, as well as accommodations for school (or, in the case of adults, work). The recommendations are very specific, and include certain programs, therapies, tutoring, and interventions. I then, for no fee, help the family or individual follow up, and make sure they are well on their way to a much more positive future, using all their true strengths and abilities, and improving their previous roadblocks to success.

Reviews
"We came to Dr. Weiss to understand why our bright 8th grader struggled so much in school. From the 4th grade onward, getting schoolwork done and grades were a challenge. Come to find out, he has an issue with encoding auditory information. We also learned he was very intelligent (high 90’s percentile) in many sectors. It was such a relief to put a name to our issue - and to see his other intelligence scores. Patti was extremely warm and thorough working with our son. She was immediately able to put him at ease during several testing sessions. She is also gifted in explaining her findings and connecting the dots for us. Perhaps best of all, my son’s confidence has been restored. highly recommend our experience with Dr. Weiss!"
"I highly recommend Dr. Patricia Weiss because she demonstrates thoughtfulness, compassion, and dedication to serving her clients. Aside from helping children and teens do better at school, she diagnoses patients with grace and sensitivity with the highest level of professionalism. She shows warmth, zeal, and insightfulness that leaves her clients feeling empowered. If you are seeking an experienced, client-centered neuropsychologist, I highly recommend Dr. Patricia Weiss without hesitation."
