adopted children and their families.
We work with preschool

range of highly specialized services: from parents' consultations
to most complex psychological assessments of children: initial
psychological screenings in your child's native language,
developmental and cognitive assessments, psycho-educational
and combined developmental, neuropsychological and educational
evaluations, which are most appropriate for children with
traumatic and culturally different past who have to switch
their language at adoption.
Dr. Gindis' concentration is an assessment
of internationally adopted children with FASD, language
and cognitive disorders and learning disabilities, children
with behavioral and emotional disabilities rooted in the
early trauma and deprivation. Special attention is given
to accurate diagnosing of these children and their remediation
via all-inclusive individualized remedial planning and services
