Psychological Assessments

Cognitive and Psychological Assessment for children, adolescents, and adults involves a complex process of evaluating an individual in order to gain a deeper understanding of how they uniquely function.

Using interviews and a comprehensive battery of tests, information is obtained and integrated. The psychological testing will determine whether a person has any specific diagnosis related to learning, emotional, personality, or relationship problems.

Based on the results of the testing, a diagnosis can be made and recommendations can determine a treatment plan, and identify the best academic accommodations and placement.
