Psychological Assessments
When parents or professionals have questions they cannot answer about a child, including diagnosis and treatment recommendations, an assessment is often recommended. Common questions that may prompt an assessment include:
- Why is my child having trouble with school?
- Does my child have ADHD?
- Does my child have an autism-spectrum disorder?
- How can I best help my child?
- Why is my child angry or sad so much of the time?
Assessment can also be particularly useful for understanding the impact of trauma on a child or adolescent. As a trauma-informed care center, our assessment team is sensitive to the impact of trauma on children’s functioning and is well-equipped to consider how trauma may impact behavior, learning, emotional regulation, and development. In addition to helping parents and professionals better understand a child or adolescent, psychological assessments are used to diagnose ADHD, learning disabilities, autism-spectrum disorders, depression, anxiety, and other emotional and behavioral difficulties.
What We Do?
Psychological assessment is a process of discovery that uses various strategies for collecting information, including testing with your child and information gathering from parents and teachers. Assessments are used to uncover answers to questions you have about your child. Most assessments include a parent interview and 1 – 2 testing sessions with the child.
The assessment process includes a feedback meeting with parents, which is typically scheduled 2 – 3 weeks after the final assessment session, and a comprehensive written report to share results and recommendations. Psychological assessment services are also available in Spanish for bilingual or Spanish-speaking families.
