Assessment and Consultation

Devereux Consultants (DevCon) positively impacts the lives of nearly 500 children, adolescents and adults with emotional, behavioral and cognitive differences every year. As part of our continuum of care, DevCon provides assessment services to a host of individuals from early childhood through the lifespan.

Our New Jersey licensed clinical psychology team has expertise providing comprehensive psychological evaluations for the diagnosis and treatment planning of children, adolescents and adults with developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, attentional disorders, learning disabilities, genetic disorders, behavioral disturbances and psychiatric disorders.

We pride ourselves in helping to determine the strengths and needs of each individual we serve.
