Center for Collaborative Assessment

A fuller picture.
A clearer path.

Children are complex, and so are the reasons they struggle. Concerns often overlap, strengths and challenges show up together, and support doesn't always help in the ways we expect. An evaluation can help sort out what is happening and what your child needs.

I'm Dr. Jaci Zarabba, a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist. I provide comprehensive neurodevelopmental, psychological, and psychoeducational evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults across the Main Line and Greater Philadelphia area.

The Approach

An evaluation shaped by your questions

You may have a specific concern or a sense that you are missing part of the picture. Your child may also have questions about learning, friendships, emotions, or why certain things feel difficult.

We begin with what you want to understand. I bring together testing, developmental history, your family’s experiences, and with permission, input from teachers and treating providers. During feedback, we connect the findings to everyday life and discuss which recommendations are most useful and where to begin.

I also offer feedback directly to children and adolescents, helping them understand their strengths and challenges in a way that is empowering and supports self-understanding.
