Our Approach
What makes The Yellin Center the best option for struggling students?
ASSESSMENT
Our team helps students achieve lasting success in school and life. Through comprehensive, interdisciplinary assessments, we uncover each student's unique learning profile and create tailored action plans that empower families, teachers, and students to build on strengths and address challenges.
The Yellin Center combines the latest research in neuroscience, developments in education, and clinical care of the whole individual to provide an advanced understanding of the mind. Each assessment pairs medical, neuropsychological, and educational expertise to create a full neurodevelopmental profile. Through one-on-one assessments, we combine standardized tools with dynamic, research-based methods to deliver a clear understanding of how the student thinks, feels, and learns. We discover the interrelation of each student's strengths and challenges to identify how best to support them across settings.
Parents have the option to observe assessments and participate in consultations with the clinical team. This allows parents to gain insight into their child's learning style and needs.
FEEDBACK
Terms like "dyslexia" or "ADHD" only tell part of the story. We help families translate diagnoses into meaningful insights, within the context of the student's unique learning profile, while also yielding the data and documentation schools, clinicians, and testing institutions are accustomed to. Unlike most practices, we begin sharing feedback immediately, sometimes on the same day the assessment is completed.
Students are central to the process. We include them in discussions, explain findings in age-appropriate language, and provide a personalized "snapshot" of their brain in action. Sharing our findings with students is both enlightening and comforting to those who have been focused solely on the frustrating, challenging aspects of their learning experiences.
FOLLOW-UP
Understanding how a student learns is just the beginning. We develop practical, customized strategies that students, families, and teachers cat try, refine, and implement with our ongoing support. Care continues long after an assessment is completed and our findings, recommendations, and learning plan have been issued. Post-evaluation meetings are arranged for families, schools (if desired), and specialists to talk and address questions and concerns, and to discuss options for prioritizing and implementing our recommendations. Additionally, as a physician, Dr. Yellin can prescribe medications where indicated.
