Evaluative Services
Psychoeducational Evaluation: This evaluation can be requested when an individual does not exhibit any social, emotional, or behavioral challenges. This evaluation measures a person’s intellectual and academic abilities and can be requested when there may be a concern about a learning disability.
Clinical Evaluation: This evaluation can be requested when an individual exhibits social, emotional, or behavioral challenges. Thus, this evaluation measures a person’s social, emotional, and behavioral functioning. This evaluation does not look at a person’s intellectual or academic abilities.
Comprehensive Evaluation: This is an exhaustive evaluation that can be requested when an individual exhibits intellectual, academic, and social-emotional or behavioral challenges. This is a particularly important evaluation if there is uncertainty about whether there is an intersection of one’s intellect, academic abilities, and/or social-emotional-behavioral functioning. This evaluation provides the most complete picture of a person’s strengths and areas of growth.
Neuropsychological Evaluation: This evaluation can be requested if there are concerns about a person’s executive functioning (i.e., difficulty remaining on task, impulse control difficulties, etc.). A neuropsychological evaluation is a series of tests designed to assess how well your brain functions including attention, memory, and language.
Educational Evaluation: This evaluation can be requested when someone wants to ascertain his/her current academic level, to include strengths and areas of growth. Sometimes a person may already have his or her IQ scores and/or social-emotional data and just needs academic information to support other data points.
Admissions Evaluation: This evaluation is requested for private school admissions. It consists of IQ testing only.
Speech-Language Evaluation: This evaluation is a comprehensive assessment conducted by a speech-language pathologist (SLP) to identify, evaluate, and diagnose communication disorders in individuals of all ages. These disorders can range from articulation difficulties to complex language impairments.
Occupational Therapy evaluation: This evaluation is a comprehensive assessment to determine a person’s functional abilities and identify areas where they may need support. Occupational therapists use this information to develop personalized treatment plans that help individuals participate in activities of daily living, work, education, and leisure.
