Dr. Troiani and Dr. Shephard have extensive experience working with children and adolescents aged eight and up.

Her work is characterized by a deep understanding of child and adolescent development and the unique challenges faced at various stages. Dr. Shephard is passionate about helping students discover their strengths and feel valued, understood, and empowered to navigate their learning and social environments confidently.

In her comprehensive evaluations, Dr. Shephard explores the complex interplay of cognitive, developmental, and psychological factors affecting each student, tailoring her approach to meet individual needs.
