Neuropsychological, Academic, and Psychological Testing
We provide comprehensive neuropsychological, academic, and psychological evaluations for children, teenagers, and adults. The questions and issues that can inspire an assessment are very varied. These can include situations like the following:
In our initial appointment, we will discuss your child's history and current functioning. Based on that information, your clinician will plan an individualized battery of tests to shed light on your question(s). We will also set up a schedule for testing. A full evaluation for a child usually takes 6 to 8 hours of testing time. Testing is typically scheduled in 2-, 3-, or 4-hour chunks (with breaks); we will make a plan that works best for you and your child.
Our assessments aim to assess and describe three major areas: a person's intellectual strengths and challenges, his/her academic skills (for current students), and the social/emotional factors that impact cognition and learning. These areas are referred to as neuropsychological, academic, and psychological testing, respectively.
After testing is completed, we will have a feedback meeting with you to discuss the results. Within a few weeks, your clinician will send you a comprehensive report that offers an accessible, user-friendly description of testing results, all data, and useful, real-world recommendations. Our reports are written to be both easily understandable by parents and useful for teachers and clinicians. In short, our goal is for our reports to have real-life utility for you and your child.
We are also available to attend school meetings (such as IEP meetings) to discuss test results with a school team.
