Child and Teen Emotional/Personality Testing

The Child and Teen Emotional/Personality Evaluation is comprehensive, helping you gain a deeper understanding of your child’s emotions and behaviors. This evaluation is appropriate for children who need an evaluation for depression, bipolar, anxiety, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation, severe irritability. We also offer evaluations for autism.

Given the complexity of assessing symptoms in kids and teens and the significant overlap that occurs, there is a significant need for differential diagnosis and to look comprehensively and accurately at concerns. Domains that are assessed include:

• 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

• Autism spectrum *if desired or applicable

Emotional/Personality Testing for children and teens helps clarify diagnoses. It provides parents and the child’s support systems (e.g., therapists, school) with recommendations for therapy and treatment planning purposes, and to help obtain accommodations at school.
