Psychological Evaluations
Psychological evaluations or assessments are frequently used when academic concerns are present or at times to assist in developing a comprehensive treatment plan. Common referrals for psychological evaluations include:
- Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder
- Dyslexia
- Mathematics Disorder
- Intellectual Disability
- Developmental / Adaptive Functioning
- Disorder of Written Expression
During a testing appointment, you’ll typically undergo a series of assessments, which may include answering questions, completing tasks, and possibly taking written or computerized tests. The specific procedures will depend on the type of testing being conducted and your individual needs.
The duration of psychological testing can vary depending on the type and number of assessments being administered. Testing sessions can range from a few hours to a full day if needed.
The results of your psychological tests will be used to provide insights into your cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning, which can help inform your treatment plan. Our psychologist, Dr. Blanchard, will discuss the implications of the results and work with you to develop an appropriate course of action.
