Psychological evaluations involve a combination of interviews, standardized psychological tests, observations, and assessments to gather relevant information about the individual’s mental health. The results of a clinical psychological evaluation are used to make accurate diagnoses, develop treatment plans, and provide recommendations for therapeutic interventions or support services to address the individual’s unique needs.
Neurodevelopmental evaluations assess a child’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral development. These evaluations aid in understanding the child’s overall functioning and provide valuable insights for intervention planning, such as additional recommendations for Speech, OT, PT, and/or ABA therapy.
We work with parents, schools, and educational organizations to offer comprehensive educational testing to assess a child’s learning strengths and challenges. This evaluation helps in identifying any learning disabilities or learning differences that may affect academic performance. The results of an IEE may be used in developing a child’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP)
Gifted evaluations consist of a standard intelligence test, which provides a quantitative measure of the child’s verbal and non-verbal intelligence level. Gifted evaluations are requested when planning for a child’s future academic placement, as a screener for the potential cause of academic problems, to qualify a child for advanced classes in school, or to include the results as part of an application for admittance to exclusive educational opportunities. This service is not covered by insurance and therefore is a private pay service. Gifted evaluations are performed by the licensed psychologist over a single session.
