Psychological Testing
Overview
Psychological testing involves a battery of tests that aim to gather a vast amount of information about the individual in a short amount of time.
ALL ADMINISTRATION AND INTERPRETATION IS DONE BY A LICENSED CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
This information on cognitive development includes emotional tendencies, strengths and limitations in problem solving, and any underlying cognitive issues that may be contributing to problematic behaviors in a social, occupational, or academic setting.
Results from psychological testing can guide the therapeutic process by uncovering an issue and using objective measures to identifying the most efficacious form of therapy.
The most common testing we offer is educational testing.
- With a battery of tests and measures, students ranging from grade school to graduate school complete tasks and solve problems over the course of the day.
- Results can reveal academic strengths and deficits that can contribute to a personalized education plan.
- Testing may takes roughly 4-5 hours depending on performance. Scoring, interpretation, and report writing may take 3-9 hours to complete. By signing this form, you acknowledge that total time for completing a full psychological evaluation may require a total of 15 hours of services (testing & interpretation).
