Where could I go in lakewood for evaluation for my younger elementary son?

His rebbi who has decades of experience is concerned that he doesn't look happy, in a way that is unusual for his age. He was naturally a very happy boy. My rav suggested evaluation to check if there might be bullying in school or worse, god forbid.

Where do I go that has good professionals that won't mess up?

Thanks a lot!

Why not start with a checkup at your pediatrician? He might be able to give you some good leads as well.

Thank you for your suggestion, Chayalle.
That's a good idea. He had a well visit recently, but I'm going to call the dr on Monday and ask what he suggests.

Educational evals should be available for free at your child's school. Ask the principal. I have had 2 children receive evals in Lakewood schools with reporting. Ask a lot of questions, like what type of evals I am eligible for because they don't always say so right away.
