Assessment/Testing

Several different types of standardized assessments are offered at the Center. All assessment services include an initial interview, an interpretive conference following completion of the assessment, and a written report of the assessment results with recommendations.

• Comprehensive psycho-educational assessments for children and adults to assess for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Learning Disorders, cognitive and academic strengths and weaknesses, and recommendations to improve academic, vocational, or life success.

• Intellectual assessments with a standardized instrument such as one of the Wechsler scales, the Stanford Binet, or the Cognitive Assessment System.

• Assessment of academic achievement in areas of arithmetic, reading, written language. The Center is able to administer the Nelson Denny Reading Test as required by many adolescent/adult testing services.

• Psychological assessments of concerns other than those directly related to learning or attention typically include assessment of general intellectual ability, personality, and social-emotional functioning.
