Dr. Nichole Dawson

“Nichole and her team are honestly the best thing that ever happened to me and my kids. Her evaluations go above and beyond the typical neuropsychological evaluation. We went to her as a “second opinion “ for our dyslexic son 2 years after his initial diagnosis. She explained to me how a twice exceptional child presents well on standardized testing but qualifies for support- using a bell curve and showing me how smart he is as well as how his learning disability is affecting his learning potential. Included in her report is not only the diagnosis (or diagnoses) but also the recommendation and rationale for all components of the IEP and 504 plans. She truly cares about her clients. She even arranged for her own dyslexic son to talk to my son to help him understand his diagnosis. If that doesn’t say it all then I don’t know what does. She is ridiculously intelligent, and is there to provide you the information you need to be your child’s most fierce advocate. I thank her silently every day.”

“Dr Dawson was instrumental in helping our family regarding our son’s developmental needs through diagnosis, resources for support outside of the school system, as well as directives for school IEP. Dr Dawson is an excellent clinician but also compassionate.”

“Nichole has been a wonderful asset to my family and the clients I work with. Beyond her brilliance, she cares deeply for her clients and goes out of her way to partner with families and schools. She has been instrumental in helping my family understand the nuances of our neurodivergent child, which has been profoundly positive. She can connect with kids in ways that are commonly difficult in a testing environment. If your child doesn’t feel seen, Nichole has a magical lens that brings out the strengths of each child despite any challenges.”

“Dr. Dawson has been amazing. She was able to get our daughter evaluated quickly and was able to assess and diagnose something our school system has missed for over 6 years! We are so happy to have her in our corner and our daughter had a wonderful, supportive experience. Thank you!”
