Assessments
The Diagnostic Program provides comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations conducted by a licensed neuropsychologist that cover the areas of cognition, academics, processing, executive functioning, memory, and social/emotional issues. Assessments typically occur on two visits, and a final written evaluation report is usually completed within 4-6 weeks of the final visit. At that time, the family will have a meeting with the Diagnostic team to discuss any questions, recommendations, or referrals that may come up as a result of testing.
My daughter is a whole different student because of the summer she spent with you. I will be forever grateful!

Raskob has taught [my son] strategies that he will take with him to high school and beyond. He is more confident, self-assured, and knows how to compensate for his disability.

While we appreciate all the support that Raskob provides for children to prepare them for middle school and ultimately high school, we are mostly concerned that [our child] has the experience Raskob has already provided her in terms of school and learning—caring support that encourages positive risk taking towards her development, increased understanding regarding her own particular needs, appropriate and tailored academic and intellectual challenges, and a holistic approach to learning that fosters her innate curiosity and desire to explore and try new things. For these gifts, thank you so very much.
– Raskob Parent
I so appreciate having the time to talk with each of [my son’s] teachers and hearing about the curriculum, goals, and objectives of each class. I could really feel the strong sense of commitment, dedication, and clarity for the needs of each student, and a cohesiveness amongst the staff. It is comforting for me to know that [he] is in such good hands…

I like Raskob because there is a lot of outdoors and really good teachers. They teach you how you need to be taught. When you need these things they give them to you. They give separate attention to each kid and there are very few kids in the class so you can get a lot of attention. 5th grade student

I really like Raskob because I get to spend time with my friends and the teachers are really nice, and the kids are, too. I like learning here because it is fun and the teachers know how to teach kids with dyslexia. 4th grade student

High school is different from Raskob, but I really like it. I am using the strategies I learned and am doing great!
