Overview
Comprehensive Evaluations
We offer both comprehensive psychological evaluations performed by experienced clinicians.
Families may benefit from an evaluation if:
- Your child is struggling in school
- You suspect an underlying condition, such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, depression, or giftedness
- Your child is "stuck" in therapy and you need a new approach to gain traction
- You would like a better understanding of how your child processes information and approaches the world
Comprehensive psychological evaluations look at your child's strength's and weaknesses to develop recommendations for treatment and school/community supports. While each child benefits from a tailored assessment plan, most comprehensive packages typically include:
- Interview(s) with the caregiver(s)
- Review of previous evaluations or records from other clinicians and/or the school
- Testing with the child (i.e., IQ, achievement, language and communication skills, executive functioning skills, behavioral ratings)
- Parent- and/or teacher-completed rating forms
- Rating forms, completed by the patient, depending upon their age/abilities
- Observation and interview with the patient in appropriate settings
