We provide two types of assessments:
Psychological Evaluations for Adults, Children & Teens (to diagnose ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, Mood, or other Psychological Disorders)
Psychoeducational Assessments (Intellect, Academic Achievement, etc.)
Psychological Evaluation for Children and Teens
Our most popular psychological evaluation for children (5 years old +) and adolescents meets the research-based criteria established by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
The child/teen evaluation is completed during three 
50-minute sessions.
Session 1:
- Clinical interview with the child or adolescent
- Clinical interview with the child or adolescent’s family
- Review of the individual’s medical and family history
- Review of psychosocial history
Session 2:
- Interpretation of observations obtained through teacher behavior ratings and other school information
- Discussion of educator concerns with the family
- Consideration of all possible diagnoses including ADD/ADHD, adjustment, anxiety, behavior, conduct, and mood disorders
- Consideration of possible co-existing disorders
Session 3:
- Family and individual education about the diagnosis
- Discussion of a management plan to address the individual’s specific needs
After the evaluation is completed, we prepare a written summary and recommendations unique to the strengths and needs of your individual child or teenager.
Collaboration and follow-up with the child or adolescent’s physician, educators, and family is available if needed to monitor effectiveness of management.
