Tailored Neuropsychological Assessments for Clearer Insights and Brighter Futures
At Pramataris & Associates we view evaluations as more than just assessments of strengths and weaknesses; they are vital tools for identifying the most effective learning strategies for each student. Our clinicians offer extensive expertise in delivering evaluations that provide diagnostic clarity, assist with classroom and school placements, and facilitate accommodations for standardized tests (such as the ACT, SAT, & GRE). Our doctors collaborate closely with schools, specialists, lawyers, and other professionals to offer guidance and ensure successful outcomes.
Our Approach: Shaped by Decades of Expertise
In 2006, Pramataris & Associates was established as a psychology practice in New York City. Our specialty is the neuropsychological assessment of children, adolescents, and young adults with learning, language, and attention difficulties. All of our clinicians have completed a two-year fellowship in neuropsychological assessment and have received specialized training in educational advocacy.
To promote excellence in our practice, our neuropsychologists personally administer assessments without relying on technicians, students, or trainees. Our reports are clearly written and delivered promptly, always aiming to provide a balanced view of each individual's performance. We offer personalized and practical recommendations tailored to the specific environments at home, school, and therapy. Our goal is to provide clear guidance to individuals and their families, helping them worry less and understand more.
