ADHD parent guidance & executive functioning
Parents can work with Dana on understanding ADHD-related challenges and building practical supports at home. Teen and adult executive functioning work can focus on planning, organization, task initiation, and follow-through.
Bring a few examples of the routines or responsibilities that feel hardest. Dana and the intake team can help clarify the appropriate service and starting point.
Understand how a student learns and functions
A student may understand the material and still struggle to begin, organize, complete, or turn in the work. Another may appear disengaged while feeling anxious or overwhelmed. Dana’s background includes school psychology, counseling, psychoeducational assessment, and social-emotional learning.
Her work experience spans elementary, middle, and high school settings. That perspective helps frame questions about the student’s strengths, the demands of the environment, and where a different kind of support may be useful.
ADHD, executive functioning & school routines
Families seeking ADHD-related help may want to discuss missing assignments, materials management, transitions, planning, or emotional reactions to schoolwork. A practical goal might focus on one step in the school day or one routine at home.
Executive functioning support can explore how a student remembers an assignment, decides where to begin, monitors progress, and knows when to seek help. The goal is to match expectations and supports to the learner rather than interpreting every difficulty as a lack of effort.
Families, educators, IEPs & 504 plans
Dana’s professional background includes collaborating with families and school staff, developing executive functioning and counseling goals, and participating in IEP and 504 processes. She has experience helping adults understand evaluation findings and consider educational supports.
Families can ask about consultation related to existing school concerns or recommendations. Any coordination with educators requires appropriate consent. A private appointment does not itself determine school eligibility, guarantee accommodations, or replace the school team’s process.
Educational psychology & evaluation questions
Dana is a Massachusetts Licensed Educational Psychologist. Her professional experience includes cognitive and achievement assessment, psychoeducational reports, and recommendations for learning and social-emotional needs.
If you are seeking testing, tell Keystone the specific question and intended use of the results. The team must confirm which evaluation services are currently available, the age range, appointment format, report scope, fees, and insurance options. Assessment experience alone does not establish availability of a particular testing battery through the practice.

Before you get started.
What does LEP mean?
LEP means Licensed Educational Psychologist. Dana’s work brings an educational psychology perspective to learning, school functioning, and social-emotional needs.
Can Dana help with IEP or 504 questions?
Her background includes IEP and 504 work. Ask Keystone about the consultation or evaluation service you need. School eligibility and accommodations are determined through the applicable school process.
Can I book ADHD testing directly?
Start with an inquiry. Keystone will confirm whether the specific evaluation is available, appropriate for the student, and within the agreed service scope before arranging it.
