When you need to know what is really going on

Your child is bright but can't keep up with reading. Your teen is anxious, exhausted, and falling behind. The school says "wait and see." Or you are the adult who has always wondered whether the trouble focusing, reading, or managing your mood has a name. You have been waiting. A thorough evaluation replaces guessing with evidence—and gives you a plan you can act on.

Testing from home, done right

Northlight is a fully virtual practice: every consultation, interview, testing session, and feedback meeting happens online. Standardized tests are administered through secure, publisher-approved digital platforms designed for remote use, with the same reliability as in-office testing. You or your child work from a quiet room at home on a computer or tablet; for children, a parent is nearby to help with setup. Most families complete testing in two to three sessions scheduled around school.
