Who we are.
Based in Champaign, Illinois, Evergreen Assessment & Consultation is a premier group of psychologists and mental health providers specializing in psychological assessment of children, adolescents, and adults. We provide psychological services in school, hospital, clinic, and community settings and specialize in the diagnosis of learning disabilities, attentional and executive functioning disorders, intellectual/developmental disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders. Our clients use our services to help establish treatment plans (e.g., medication, therapy), document diagnoses/disabilities to protect their legal rights in educational and professional settings, and sometimes to just dig deep into their psyche to understand the unique set of factors (e.g., personality, emotional sensabilities, intellectual strengths) that make them who they are.
What we do.
Clinical Evaluations
We provide high quality psychological assessments for the purposes of diagnosing clinical disorders like ADHD, Autism, and Learning Disabilities. However, we are interested in knowing about any assessment needs you have! Want to know your intellect/aptitude to see if you are qualified to join MENSA? Want vocational assessment to help you find the right career for you? Want in depth personality assessment to uncover what makes you tick? Too many people seem to believe that psychological assessment is to find out, “what’s wrong with me?” There is nothing wrong with you. Knowing yourself, including your strengths and weaknesses is a starting point for organizing your life and pointing you in the direction of your goals.
School-Based Evaluations
Our providers are trained specialists in school-based evaluations. Each of our staff has experience in providing school psychology services in a public school setting. We are skilled at consultation with teachers and administrators in the implementation of Multi-Tiered Support Systems (MTSS), Response to Intervention (RtI) models of intervention and eligibility determination, and effective academic intervention. Whether you contract with EAC to have our psychologists in your building on a regular basis, or whether you need an evaluator who can conduct a high quality Independent Educational Evaluation, we have the services for you. Are you a parent of a school-age child who needs an IEP or 504 plan? We can provide the right kind of assessment and consultation to help your child become an effective learner.
Disability Evaluations
Our providers have a strong background in disability-related assessment. Dr. Thomas-Stagg is a Consultative Examiner for the State of Illinois and routinely conducts evaluations for the State of Illinois, Disability Determination Service, vocational rehabilitation programs, and other social service agencies. Sometimes, people need specific psychological evaluations in order to advocate for the right school or professional accommodations. Do you have ADHD or a learning disability and want to become a doctor or a lawyer? We know you can succeed, but often standardized tests don’t really show what you know, and what you are capable of doing. If you have a disability as defined under the Americas with Disabilities Act, you are likely entitled to reasonable accommodations on high-stakes testing like the ACT, GRE, MCAT or LSAT.
