Types of Evaluations

Comprehensive
Neuropsychological or Psychoeducational Testing
for Children and Teens

A neuropsychological or psychoeducational evaluation is recommended when:

• your child is experiencing difficulties with academics, learning, school, attention, and emotions or behaviors.

• you are looking to have your child or teen evaluated for ADHD ASD, or learning disabilities.

• you are looking to have your child or teen evaluated for emotional testing and mood concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar, oppositionality, and irritability.

These evaluations are critical to the future of a child. The results from an evaluation can positively impact their academic life in the short term, and also help ensure they live up to their full potential as they grow into adulthood.

Assessment in children is complex with many overlapping symptoms. Therefore comprehensive neuropsychological or psychoeducational testing is needed in order to tease apart potential factors contributing to symptoms and to make clear, definitive diagnoses for your child.

This evaluation will provide you with clear, accurate diagnoses and meaningful recommendations to clarify your child’s needs and a path forward ahead. You will gain an understanding of your child’s strengths as well as their areas for continued growth.

A neuropsychological or psychoeducational evaluation with us will provide you with the following detailed information about your child:

• Intellectual Ability/IQ

• Academic functioning

• Memory and learning

• Language

• Visual-motor and visual-spatial functioning

• Brief and sustained attention and concentration

• Executive functioning

• Socioemotional functioning

• Adaptive Functioning

Information is also gathered and synthesized with data collected from parents and teachers of the child to obtain an in-depth understanding of your child’s difficulties in different contexts. Specific, individualized recommendations will be provided to address each child’s individualized needs, with a feedback session and comprehensive, written report. This report and the resulting recommendations is critical to obtaining formal accommodations in school.

Comprehensive Neuropsychological Testing for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
in Children and Teens

We provide top, gold standard evaluations for ASD in children and teens. This type of testing is extremely comprehensive in nature in order to rule in and rule out other potential, differential diagnoses. This evaluation comprehensively assesses for all diagnoses, so that you will not only learn about ASD but any co-occurring diagnoses such as ADHD.

This evaluation is the neuropsychological evaluation conducted with children and teens, but includes the additional component of evaluating for ASD.

• Intellectual Ability/IQ

• Academic functioning

• Memory and learning

• Language

• Visuo-Spatial functioning

• Brief and sustained attention and concentration

• Executive functioning

• Emotional and behavioral functioning

• Social Cognition

• Autism Spectrum*

Neuropsychological/Psychoeducational Testing for Young Adults and Adults

A comprehensive evaluation is usually conducted when this is your first experience with testing, or if you need documentation to apply for academic accommodations in public and private schools, colleges, and on standardized tests.

A neuropsychological evaluation provides detailed information about a broad range of functions including:

• Intellectual Ability/IQ

• Academic functioning

• Memory and learning

• Language

• Visuo-Spatial functioning

• Brief and sustained attention and concentration

• Executive functioning

• Emotional and behavioral functioning

These evaluations are designed to help you clarify diagnosis and treatment planning to help provide an understanding of how you and your medical providers, and academic, work and family support systems can best help you. They can also help you obtain a profile of your strengths and weaknesses to critically guide rehabilitation or educational services, understand how best to return to work or school.

Adult Emotional/Personality Testing

The Adult Emotional/Personality Evaluation is brief and focused, including domain specific evaluation for emotional or behavioral concerns.

This type of evaluation is for adults only and will help you gain a deeper understanding of your mood and specific psychiatric symptoms you may be experiencing.

This type of testing helps clarify diagnoses, and provides recommendations for future therapy/treatment planning purposes. It is often requested by health care providers so that they can obtain diagnoses and recommendations to best inform treatment.

Adult Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Testing

It can be challenging as an adult to obtain testing for autism. Many places specialize only in autism testing for children. However, we are pleased to share that we also specialize in autism testing for adults. Many of the adults we see have experienced symptoms for much of their lives which have gone unrecognized and undiagnosed. We use gold standard measures in all of our assessments.

This type of testing is extremely comprehensive in nature in order to rule in and rule out other potential, differential diagnoses.

• Intellectual Ability/IQ

• Academic functioning

• Memory and learning

• Language

• Visuo-Spatial functioning

• Brief and sustained attention and concentration

• Executive functioning

• Emotional and behavioral functioning

• Social Cognition

• Autism Spectrum

Adult ADHD Evaluations

The Adult ADHD Evaluation is brief and focused, and includes specific, targeted assessment and recommendations. It is recommended primarily for adults who are looking for a differential diagnosis, or for working professionals who are experiencing symptoms in the workplace. Academic testing is limited or not included in the ADHD Evaluation, and the report is shorter. This evaluation is only available if deemed clinically appropriate.

This evaluation is not appropriate for children and teens seeking an evaluation for ADHD due to its brevity and lack of comprehensiveness. As evaluation in children and teens is complex with many overlapping symptoms, children and teens requiring who need an evaluation for ADHD receive comprehensive Neuropsychological or Psychoeducational Evaluations.
