Educational Testing & Learning Disability Evaluations in New Jersey

​

In New Jersey, families often navigate a wide range of school systems — from high-performing public districts like Princeton, West Windsor, and Millburn to specialized charter and private schools. With these varying expectations, many students experience academic pressure, inconsistent support, or unclear guidance about learning challenges.

​

Our New Jersey evaluations are designed to help families make informed decisions, understand learning profiles, and secure appropriate school or college accommodations.

When New Jersey Families Reach Out for an Evaluation

Unlike Philadelphia or NYC, NJ parents often contact us because:

• A teacher suggests testing, but the Child Study Team is slow to respond

• The CST evaluation wasn’t comprehensive enough

• A student is performing “fine” but struggling far more than grades show

• A high-achieving student suddenly hits a wall in middle or high school

• The family wants a private, independent evaluation (IEE)

• Parents want more clarity than what the school provides

• The student is applying to competitive local private schools

Academic challenges are rarely simple — especially in a state with high expectations and significant school-to-school variability. Our evaluations clarify what’s going on and what support is appropriate.

Our New Jersey Assessment Approach

New Jersey requires a different testing approach due to its educational structure. Our process includes:

• A full cognitive and academic assessment

• Executive functioning and processing evaluations

• Review of CST reports, IEPs/504 plans, and district evaluations

• Analysis of curriculum expectations across NJ districts

• Emotional/behavioral rating scales if needed

• Direct communication (when permitted) with teachers or CST members

• A detailed, actionable report tailored to NJ school processes

We ensure our findings align with NJ’s eligibility criteria for SLD classifications, 504 accommodations, and college documentation standards.

How We Tailor Evaluations to New Jersey Schools

New Jersey districts vary dramatically. We frequently evaluate students from:

• South Jersey → Cherry Hill, Marlton, Washington Township, Haddonfield

• Central NJ → Princeton, West Windsor, Montgomery, Hillsborough

• North Jersey → Livingston, Summit, Montclair, Chatham, Tenafly

Each region has unique academic expectations, special education processes, and parent advocacy cultures.
Our recommendations reflect your district’s actual practices, not generic suggestions.

Learning Challenges We Often Identify in NJ Students

We commonly diagnose and clarify:

• Dyslexia and early reading concerns that schools overlook

• Written expression weaknesses emerging in upper grades

• Processing speed deficits affecting homework load

• Executive functioning issues in high-achieving students

• Math reasoning or fluency deficits

• ADHD that looks like “inconsistency” or “carelessness”

• Students struggling emotionally due to academic intensity

We specialize in cases where a student is performing above grade level but struggling privately — a pattern common in NJ’s top-performing districts.

Why New Jersey Families Choose Our Practice

Families come to us because:

• We understand NJ special education law, CST procedures, and SLD classifications

• Our private reports often lead to stronger 504/IEP planning than school-based evaluations

• We offer evening/weekend appointments to accommodate long NJ commutes

• We provide guidance for parents on advocating within their district

• Our recommendations reflect the reality of NJ’s academic environments

• We are trusted by parents, attorneys, tutors, and independent schools across the state

Our goal is to provide clarity, direction, and a plan that works in your specific New Jersey district.
