attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD)

mood disorders (e.g. depression)

Reports
Assessment reports help our clients and their families to better understand the individual needs of a child or teen. We provide a report that includes:
a summary of the child or youth’s performance as well as their strengths and weaknesses
a list of strategies and recommendations to help the child or youth at home and at school
Reports are written in a strength-based manner in order to provide strategies that will promote the strengths and talents of the individual as they continue to develop.
Consultations
Caregivers and organizations may request assistance with specialized or complex cases. Dr. Wong offers extensive consultation and assessment services in order to help caregivers and organizations understand a particular case from a biological, psychological, and environmental basis. Once the assessment is completed, he will discuss with his clients any challenges and develop a comprehensive strategic plan to best support their needs.
