PEAK has a team of dedicated professionals in Denver and Broomfield, CO who are committed to working collaboratively with you to offer a range of testing, consulting, and support services and information that will help you advocate for your children, or yourself, effectively.

Need IQ Testing, Psychoeducational, or Neuropsychological Testing near Denver or Broomfield?
If you are looking for IQ testing for school or gifted program admission in the Denver area, or an assessment for gifted identification purposes, our child psychologists and assessment providers have over twenty years of experience in offering these services. In addition to assessments for giftedness, we offer comprehensive assessments to help get to the bottom of your most pressing questions regarding your child’s (or your) abilities. Some of the most common issues we evaluate for include:
- ADD or ADHD
- Dyslexia
- Stealth Dyslexia
- Executive Functioning Deficits
- Specific Learning Disabilities (Reading, Writing, Math)
- Autism Spectrum Disorders/Asperger’s
- Anxiety Disorders
- Academic Underachievement
- School Accommodations (IEP and 504 Plans)
- College Admissions Testing Accommodations (e.g. SAT)
Our experienced psychologists use the most widely accepted IQ tests, achievement tests, educational, psychological, and neuropsychological assessment instruments. We use well-known tests to provide the highest quality assessment services. In addition, we always tailor each assessment to the individual. We don’t want you or your child to go through (or pay for!) tests that are not needed to answer your questions. Each test battery is decided upon after consultation with you, in order to answer your specific questions. Some of the most common tests we use include:
- WPPSI-IV – IQ test for children aged 3 – 5
- WISC-V – IQ test for children aged 6-15
- WAIS-IV – IQ test for adults and teenagers 16 and older
- Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, Fifth Edition for ages 3 and older
- WIAT-III – formal academic achievement test
- CTOPP 2 – dyslexia testing for phonological processing
- BASC-3 – measure of emotional and behavioral functioning
- BRIEF 2 – formal measure of executive functioning
- Conners 3 – assessment of ADD/ADHD symptoms and behaviors
- Various other educational, psychological, and neuropsychological tests
Looking for Support and Guidance?
Unfortunately, many mental health and health care providers, as well as teachers and schools, do not understand the unique needs and characteristics of gifted and 2e individuals. This can lead to gifted and 2e children (and adults!) getting mislabeled and misdiagnosed. Too many children, teenagers, and adults are provided with unnecessary medication prescriptions and other forms of intervention that do not fully meet their needs, not to mention of lifetime of being misunderstood!
Dr. Terri Lucero, the owner and clinical director of PEAK in Denver and Broomfield, CO, is passionate about providing sensitive and compassionate support to gifted and twice-exceptional children and adults. Dr. Lucero has carefully selected the PEAK Exceptional Services provider team to meet the needs of our unique clients. Our psychologists and academic coach understand the challenges of finding appropriate support for gifted and twice-exceptional students. The mission of PEAK Exceptional Services is to offer assessment, parent consultation and coaching, and other complementary support services in one convenient location.
Our caring and experienced staff members deliver high quality services for gifted, 2e, and other differently wired individuals. Services are specifically tailored to each child and family and include:
- Parent coaching
- Executive Function coaching and workshops
- Consultation and Advocacy for navigating the school system
- IEP/504 Plan Consultations
Have you been to other providers who didn’t seem to understand the whole picture? Has the school or another health provider focused too much on your child’s weaknesses and turned a blind eye to their strengths?
We get it!
Do your child (and your family) a favor and schedule a consultation with a provider who will look at things from a fresh perspective. Call now to get started!

Explaining ADHD to 2e Kids: Race Cars and Bicycles
As the parent of a 2e student who struggles with both ADHD and processing speed issues, I have been challenged with how to talk to my son about his gifts and his challenges. When he was younger, I simplified the conversations greatly –saying things like, “You are really great at math! And… you also have trouble focusing sometimes, and that can make school hard for you.” [...]
