Psychological Assessments
A comprehensive psychological assessment, including developmental, psychoeducational, Autism and ADHD specific testing, provides in-depth information based on data from standardized testing, direct observation, and information provided by parents, school staff, or other individuals involved in your life.
A written report provided at the end of the assessment process outlines testing results, diagnostic considerations, referrals to applicable services, and practical suggestions on how to build upon your areas of strength and how to work on areas of need.
