Jason LaGory, PhD, Child Psychologist
I provide therapy and testing services to young children, adolescents, and their families. I specialize in the treatment of individuals with comorbid developmental and psychiatric disorders. I’m trained in several evidence-based treatment models, including Pivotal Response Training, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and traditional Applied Behavior Analysis. Research has shown that each approach is effective to reduce problem behaviors and increase appropriate coping and adaptive skills in children. I also use a variety of psychometric instruments to provide an accurate diagnosis and determine the best course of treatment for children, including the administration of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised, and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales. I have conducted research on motivation, neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders, and trauma, as well as family and school issues. I enjoy providing specialized training and supervision to other professionals and students.
