Everyday Strategies for Executive Functioning

Joaquin Burciaga, PhD is a clinical program manager and licensed clinical psychologist specializing in neuropsychology at CHC, providing behavioral, cognitive/neuropsychological, psycho-educational, and social/emotional assessments for children, teens and young adults. Dr. Burciaga’s approach to assessment focuses on identifying clients’ strengths and weaknesses in order to accurately diagnose and plan personalized interventions for each client. As part of this process, he reviews the results with parents and clients so that they will have a better understanding of their abilities and mental health. Dr. Burciaga’s recommendations are tailored to help parents better support and advocate for their child, and schools better address the student’s educational needs.
