Mary Wetherby

Dr. Mary Wetherby is a distinguished therapist with over 30 years of experience specializing in neuropsychological evaluation and cognitive therapy for children and teens. She provides comprehensive evaluations for pre-kindergarten through college students, focusing on diagnosing specific reasons for learning disabilities, behavioral issues, and social or anxiety challenges. Common diagnoses include ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Specific Learning Disorders. Her expertise also extends to addressing complexities arising from concussion, traumatic brain injury, and other medical factors that may hinder academic success. Dr. Wetherby recognizes that as academic demands increase, such as during high school or college, previously unnoticed difficulties may surface. Her neuropsychological evaluations reveal not only areas of weakness but also highlight the strengths of each student. The recommendations she provides aim to support successful classroom accommodations for pre-k through higher education and can be instrumental in developing 504 plans or IEPs. Additionally, accommodations for major standardized testing, including the SAT and ACT, are also facilitated. Following evaluations, Dr. Wetherby offers cognitive therapy focused on developing learning, memory, and organizational strategies, alongside behavior management and anxiety therapy when needed. As the co-founder of the educational website IEP Academy, Dr. Wetherby is passionate about empowering families with information on securing the necessary accommodations and strategies for their children’s educational success.
