Psychological Testing and Evaluation

Comprehensive evaluations are usually completed within 2-4 sessions, depending on the purpose of the evaluation. All assessments begin with a clinical interview (or intake) to gather information about a client’s developmental history, current symptoms, previous interventions and evaluations.  A specific set of assessments and tests are chosen for each individual and the plan and cost are reviewed with clients before testing is scheduled. Although most evaluations begin with a specific referral question (i.e. ADHD, Autism, Learning Disorder), additional clinical considerations (depression, anxiety, behavioral issues) may be explored over the course of the testing process.

Once testing is completed, a feedback session is scheduled to review the results and recommendations. In addition to the feedback session,  the client receives an evaluation report that contains a thorough assessment of each concern, the relevant history and examiner observations.  Evaluation reports also provide detailed results of each test administered and a thorough summary explaining what the different scores mean.  Lastly, each report contains a comprehensive list of personalized recommendations.
