E. Nicole Cookson-Crawford, Ph.D.
I earned my doctoral degree in School Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado, with a focus on neuropsychological assessments. I am a Nationally Certified School Psychologist. I am also licensed as both a psychologist and school psychologist through the state of Colorado.
I have over 25 years of experience working in schools as a psychologist and as a brain injury specialist with the Colorado Department of Education. This experience has given me extensive knowledge of school structures and systems, as well as special education and 504 laws. I have taught graduate-level university courses and provide supervision for the next generation of psychologists. I provided training across the state for school staff who work with children who have brain injuries and other cognitive challenges. I have also published about how school staff can understand a child’s behavior and provide effective interventions by considering each child’s unique pattern of cognitive strengths and differences.
I have loved expanding this experience into completing neuroeducational evaluations in my private practice for almost 10 years.
I am privileged to be raising my own amazing children who are adopted and have their own unique learning and behavioral strengths and challenges. My personal and professional experiences have given me a unique understanding of what the assessment and school process is like from the perspective of a parent, school staff member, and private practice evaluator.
Please feel free to contact me to talk more about the needs of yourself or your child, so we can determine which type of evaluation will be most beneficial.
