Psychologists in San Francisco, CA with Dr. Lesliegh H. Franklin near me? Dr. Lesleigh Franklin is an excellent psychologist in Oakland, USA who has been providing supervision, psychotherapy and psychological assessments to children, adolescents and adults for 21 years. I specialize in working with diverse populations, including cultural minorities, medically fragile children, and children with severe behavioral difficulties. This population can be difficult to assess because of the special needs involved. My philosophy is that the results of assessments are only as good as the fit of the appropriate expertise, testing instruments, and the comfort level of the person being tested. Often times, children who are actually quite bright get misdiagnosed as being impaired due to inappropriate testing measures or the evaluator not having the experience to accommodate issues that children with special needs present with. I use a variety of tests and diagnostic methods to capture each individual’s profile of strengths and weaknesses. I conduct psychological assessments, neuropsychological assessments, and psychoeducational assessments. Find extra info on Lesliegh Franklin.
Our assessments are integrated into a personalized profile of strengths and weaknesses as well as specific interventions for your child. We feel that is it critical to integrate all aspects of a child’s functioning in order to plan the most appropriate educational and behavioral interventions to ensure success. You may also choose just one or two of the above assessments depending upon the difficulties your child may be experiencing. We will be happy to speak with you regarding your situation and suggest the most appropriate type of evaluation for your needs.
