A comprehensive combined developmental, neuropsychological and educational assessment
and strategic planning and monitoring of
the school-based services are
the major means for
support and overall improvement
for a child with FASD

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.
