Psychological
Evaluations
Psychological evaluations use standardized and norm referenced assessments (or tests) to help form diagnoses. Establishing the correct diagnosis helps to guide and inform treatment. Commonly assessed areas include personality, attention, emotion, behavior, intelligence, and academic skills.
Common Assessment Areas & Tests
What might a psychological evaluation look like?
Psychological evaluations are individualized, so they vary. But you can expect to work one-on-one with the psychologist. You’ll probably start by giving background information and explaining the problem. The assessments are chosen according to your needs. Common areas of assessment might include:
Attention
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is complex, and often looks different in different individuals. Using the “gold standard” for ASD diagnosis – the ADOS-2, with other valid, reliable, and standardized assessments, we can help you discover if you or your child may be on the autism spectrum. Evaluation and diagnosis is available for toddlers through adults.
Behaviors
Is your child having behavior difficulties at home, in school, or in the community? Assessments and evaluation can help sift through those behaviors to find any underlying disorders, which can better equip you to manage those behaviors.
