Jaci Zarabba, PsyD
For more than 20 years, Dr. Jaci Zarabba has worked in both clinical and educational settings with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. As a licensed psychologist and PA certified school psychologist, she brings extensive experience assessing neurodevelopmental concerns such as ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, giftedness/twice exceptionality, and anxiety.
Jaci approaches assessment as a collaborative and highly individualized process. She takes the time to understand your concerns, your child’s strengths and challenges, and how they are functioning at home, at
school, and in daily life. With permission, she also collaborates directly with therapists, teachers, schools, and other providers to build a complete picture of your child.
Feedback is a central part of the process. Jaci’s goal is for families to leave an evaluation with greater clarity about their child’s strengths, the factors contributing to their difficulties, and a practical roadmap for moving forward. As part of the feedback process, she also offers to meet with children and adolescents directly, helping them understand their own learning, cognitive and emotional profile in a way that is clear, supportive, and empowering.
Jaci earned her Doctor of Psychology from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and serves as core faculty in Widener University's Institute for Graduate Clinical Psychology, where she teaches advanced courses in assessment and lifespan development and provides clinical and research mentorship to doctoral trainees.
