Dr. Eldridge has been in private practice since 1993 and specializes in working with children and families. Dr. Eldridge also consults with private and public schools, physicians, and other professionals to help develop effective supports and interventions for children at school and home.
Dr. Eldridge provides psycho-educational and neuropsychological assessments of children and adults related to learning disabilities (e.g. dyslexia, dysgraphia), language and auditory processing disorders, attention-deficit problems (ADHD), autistic-spectrum disorders (Asperger's), and social-skill deficits.

The report also provides a practical “road-map” for teachers and parents for how best to address the presenting concerns.
