Success Stories

“Having Morrissey Compton do a psychoeducational evaluation of my teenage son was one of the best, most empowering actions I have ever taken for my child. It has been a game-changer! The detailed evaluation and the very positive feedback session provided my son and me with a clear understanding of his learning profile and the language and tools to help him advocate for what he needs as he heads into high school. “

Why Choose MC?

A clear advantage of having your child evaluated at Morrissey Compton is that we can provide team evaluations by two or more specialists, clinical psychologists, educational specialists, and/or speech and language therapists to provide information about your child’s areas of strength and weakness.  In contrast to evaluations performed by a solo practitioner, this team approach allows multiple experts to be involved in developing an effective treatment plan.
