Testimonials

By the way, as a follow up, xxx is attending community college and crushing it, all A’s so far! He’s also learning to cook and maintain his own household. Thank you so much for your assessment and the session with the doctor–it helped us a great deal.

On another note, my son is starting sixth grade middle school next year. We had his CSE meeting and it went smooth. Thanks to your reports, he will be receiving supports in school more targeted to help him learn and work up to his potential. His confidence is growing!

Thank you so much for all you do for the children that see you. You keep everything organized and everything is so efficient. The insight the doctors have, really helps the children get the correct support. I think it will be my turn to have an evaluation in 2021 so I can learn how to work with my strengths and weaknesses as well as my three children have!

I’m thrilled to announce that I got approval for extra-time on the test!!!

I am so incredibly appreciative for all the hard work and guidance that you all provided me throughout this experience. You’re due diligence and support meant so much to me and I wanted to personally thank you again for all that you did!

Thank you so much on behalf of myself and my family – for your helpfulness and concern in making a potentially stressful experience seamless and comfortable.

Preliminary discussions with a manager and/or assistant manager can make all the difference in the world, even in deciding whether to follow up with an appointment. Michele and Andrea, you not only explained the nature of the exam thoroughly, you answered all our questions and concerns -many even two or more times- patiently and clearly.

People like you are an invaluable resource to patients and doctors. My family and I wish you all good things – none of this happens without you.

*Please do me one last favor and pass this note on to Dr. van Gorp.

Thank you both for always being there for us.

Best wishes,

I am very grateful to you, Michelle, Dr. Daren and Dr. Van Gorp for providing excellent, professional service in the days prior to scheduling my appointment date; conducting the day-long series of neuropsychological tests; expediting my written report before the submission deadline of my accommodations application; and for your willingness to meet with me to review and discuss the results of the extensive tests which were compiled in a comprehensive, written report.

Thank you all so much! My son received the accommodations recommended by Dr. van Gorp!
He is much more confident in his ability to do well on the LSAT now. Thanks to everyone for making this happen!
You are all such a wonderful team.

Gratefully,

Dr. van Gorp was extremely professional and right on spot with his diagnosis of my learning disability. He did a very thorough evaluation and took the time to go over the results with me. His recommendations were also extremely helpful. I have recommended him to all my friends who show signs of learning disabilities or ADHD. Thanks to him and his amazing team, I was able to take the MCAT with double time and apply to the Boards as well. If you wish to reach your true cognitive potential, I strongly believe Dr. van Gorp is the right person to evaluate your needs.

My wife and I recently used the Cognitive Assessment Group to conduct a pre-adoption psychological evaluation. The Office Manager and staff (Andrea & Michele) was incredibly helpful in setting up our appointment and making sure that we had all of our questions answered beforehand. Dr. Daren was friendly, very professional and made us both feel welcome and comfortable as we went through the evaluation process. The entire staff was patient and supportive as we worked through very strict report formatting, notarizing, and gathering copies of licenses that needed to be done to send this off as a part of our international adoption dossier. We are so grateful for everything the staff did for us and will not hesitate to use this office for any future evaluation needs.

It’s not hard to find someone in manhattan to complete a neuropsych but it’s really hard to find someone you trust. Andrea (Reilly) at the center for cognitive research was great. She was patient and answered all my questions. Sometimes twice! The doctor (Andrew Daren) was just like she said he would be and the whole experience was easy, professional and my son left feeling good about himself.

January 17, 2018

Hi and hope you are well. Many thanks again and we are very happy to report that (my son) had a very successful outcome! Happy Thanksgiving!

Best regards

FYI – I have been approved for 50% extra time!
I mentioned how great and comparatively reasonably priced you guys were to my GMAT tutor and am cc’ing him so he can give your name to future students he has in my situation.
Thanks again doc!

Kind Regards,

I wanted to thank you for your help with my accommodations process for the USMLE Step 1 examination. I was on a time crunch to submit documentation to my medical school and your office found a way to schedule me on short notice. I received a decision letter today that granted me accommodations of extended time; the test will also be administered over 2 days. Despite hearing from students that “the Nation Board of Medical Examiners never grants accommodations for Step1”, you were reassuring that you would do your best to help me with this process. I am incredibly grateful for all of your help and advice. It was especially helpful that you were able to include the reasons why you felt that I needed certain accommodations – the evaluation not including this has been a reason that many requests have been denied.

I really appreciate everything that you, Ms. Reilly and Dr. Daren did to help me during this stressful time. I did not have Dr. Daren’s email address, but please pass along the message and my gratitude to him, as well.

Thank you again for your time and help! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

I just wanted to let you know that I found out that all of my requested accommodations were approved. Not only did the school approve all of your recommended accommodations, but I was even offered an additional helpful accommodation I did not request. It took much longer than usual for the school to process my request due to how novel the requested accommodations were, but thanks to your report written specifically to the school’s needs, the only discussion was on what accommodations would be most reasonable for my disability rather than the diagnosis or need for accommodations. Thank you once again!

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for everything. I never thought I would say this but discovering that I had a learning disability though devastating for me has been a blessing in disguise.

I am happy to inform you that not only did I pass my boards this year with the extra time given me per your recommendations, I passed it with a very high score. If it had not been for your evaluation and recommendation I would still be struggling to pass my boards.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would recommend my friends, family and patients to you. If only you knew what this means to me. I thank God for putting you in my life when he did. I will forever be great full to you and your staff.

I am very happy to let you and the team know that we heard from the College board that (my daughter) has 50% extra time accommodated for her exams. Thank you very much for your willingness to help and I thank both the doctors from the bottom of my heart for their detailed assessment, documentation and recommendation which helped make this possible. God Bless!
Sincerely,

I just want to thank Dr. Van Gorp for his evaluation and report. (Name redacted) was granted extended time and small room accommodations for the ACT yesterday!

Thank you and have a wonderful rest of summer!

Thank you so much to you, Dr. Daren and Dr. Van Gorp for all your help with my son’s assessment. As usual, nothing is ever text book when it comes to assessing an individual but your support and compassion throughout this entire process was invaluable. I am happy to say that my son was awarded his college degree in large part because of the three of you! Thank you for treating both of us with such understanding and kindness.

August 12, 2016

As per discussion I would like to follow up with Dr. Gorp about the results of my college accommodation requests.

Because of his evaluation and follow up letter not only did I receive my testing accommodations, but I also received my (required dormitory accommodation).

I would like to once again thank both you and him for your help over this past year.

Best,

July 18, 2016

Thank you so very much. Beyond the report, was the compassion and understanding we heard with solid recommendations. We cannot thank you enough. Now we know where we stand, and are prepared to move forward with a road to take.
