Psychological Testing and Evaluation

A psychological evaluation, much like a detective seeking clues to solve a mystery, involves the use of norm-referenced testing instruments. Administered by a psychologist or a well-trained professional under supervision, these tests help identify and address specific concerns or questions tailored to you or your loved one's needs.

Our Psychological Testing and Evaluation consist of a 3-step process:

Step One:
Clinical Interview Scheduling

At the outset, an appointment is scheduled for both the individual and their parent(s)/caregivers. This crucial step involves a comprehensive clinical interview, conducted either in-person or via telehealth, setting the foundation for a tailored psychological evaluation.

Step Two:
Direct Testing at Our Facility

Following the clinical interview, a visit is arranged for direct testing at our facility. This phase, typically lasting two to four hours, involves test administration. The duration may vary based on factors like age, developmental level, and the number of tests required, ensuring a thorough assessment.

Step Three:
Feedback Appointment and Comprehensive Review

Types of Evaluations:

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Evaluation:

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition identified by persistent patterns of inattention and/or hyperactivity. Our comprehensive evaluation, aligned with National Institute of Mental Health standards, explores these symptoms to provide valuable insights into childhood development. The results guide personalized strategies to support personal, social, and academic functioning in children.

Emotional/Behavioral Disorders Evaluation:

This encompassing term addresses a spectrum of challenges in children, spanning externalizing (e.g., aggression, defiance) and internalizing problems (e.g., isolation, self-harm). Individuals with emotional and/or behavioral disorders exhibit varying intellectual and academic abilities, often influenced by underlying factors like environment, parenting, and adverse childhood experiences. Our evaluation offers insights into these complex dynamics, guiding personalized interventions and support.

Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (IDD) Evaluation:

IDD, encompassing challenges in intellectual functioning and developmental disabilities, is a complex area. While there's no exact definition, our evaluation delves into various aspects, including problem-solving, learning, reasoning, and developmental issues such as sensory, motor, and physical disabilities. Our comprehensive assessment aims to understand and support individuals with disabilities that impact them from birth and persist throughout their lifespan.
