The Center
for Cognitive-Developmental Assessment and Remediation (BGCenter)
is composed of independent professionals, specializing with
services to internationally adopted children and working in
their own offices and at the Center.
We work with preschool
and school age children (4-18 years old) and their families.
We now have psychologists to perform various assessments in
3 major languages: Russian,
Chinese and
Spanish.
Our chief
psychologist Dr. Boris Gindis offers a whole
range of highly specialized services: from parents' consultations
to most complex psychological assessments of children (initial
psychological screenings in your child's native language,
developmental and cognitive assessments, psycho-educational
and neuropsychological evaluations).
Dr. Gindis' concentration and specialty
are FASD, language and cognitive disorders and learning
disabilities, behavioral and emotional disabilities rooted
in the early trauma and deprivation of children from foreign
orphanages. Special attention is given not only to accurate
diagnosing of these children but to their remediation via
all-inclusive individualized remedial planning and services
available at schools, in the family and community.
At the BGCenter we now perform a
combined developmental neuropsychological and educational
assessment, most appropriate for children with traumatic
and culturally different past who have to switch their language
at adoption.
Our Russian
and
Spanish Bilingual Extension
teams include various professionals trained to work with internationally
adopted children; all specialists are bilingual and understand
your child's language.
