Assessments
Psychological assessments are typically conducted in order to assist in diagnosis and treatment planning. Assessment may include an initial consultation or clinical interview; behavioral observation; caregiver and teacher report; and measures of cognitive ability (IQ), academic achievement, visual-motor skills, expressive and receptive language, emotional and behavioral functioning, executive skills (including computerized continuous performance tests), adaptive behavior, and social functioning. Testing typically takes two to six hours of direct face-to-face time, and a written report of the results along with feedback is offered within two weeks of completion of testing.
I offer assessments for children as young as two and adolescents up to the age of 17.
I personally conduct every part of the evaluation process—from the first consultation to the final feedback session. You will not be handed off to a technician or assistant.
I offer assessments specifically for Autism Spectrum Disorders, including the administration of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2), which is considered the gold standard for autism testing.
Please note that the test measures listed below reflect a “typical” assessment, and your child’s test battery may vary depending upon your child’s individual needs.
Neurodevelopmental Assessment for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Global Developmental Delay:
- May include measures of cognitive ability (IQ), adaptive behavior, visual-motor skills, expressive and receptive language skills, emotional and behavioral functioning, and social skills; behavioral observation; and review of relevant records.
ADHD Assessment:
- May include a review of relevant records and measures of cognitive ability (IQ), brief academic skills, emotional and behavioral functioning, and executive skills, including a computerized objective measure of executive skills (i.e., TOVA).
Psychoeducational or Learning Disability Assessment:
- May include a review of relevant records and measures of cognitive ability (IQ), comprehensive academic skills, visual-motor skills, executive skills, and emotional and behavioral functioning.
School Admissions Assessment:
- May include measures of cognitive ability (IQ), academic skills, or other areas of functioning dependent upon the specific requirements of your school. These evaluations are typically abbreviated evaluations.
