Areas of Assessment
Our psychological and neuropsychological testing services include evaluations in the following key areas:
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD assessments focus on evaluating attention difficulties, hyperactivity, and impulsivity symptoms in individuals. These assessments typically involve a combination of behavioral observations, standardized rating scales, cognitive tests, and clinical interviews to assess the presence and severity of ADHD symptoms. The results of ADHD assessments can help in diagnosing the condition, developing tailored treatment plans, and providing strategies to manage symptoms effectively. - Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Our comprehension ASD evaluation includes a thorough review of developmental history, standardized testing, and clinical observations to provide an accurate diagnosis. If you or your loved one have already received a diagnosis of ASD and you are seeking a second opinion or clarification, we offer diagnostic clarification assessments to provide additional insights and recommendations. Following the assessment, we provide personalized recommendations and support planning to help individuals with ASD and their families navigate the challenges and access the necessary resources for optimal well-being. - Aptitude and Intelligence
Aptitude and intelligence tests assess general cognitive abilities, problem-solving skills, and intellectual potential. These tests are useful for identifying giftedness, intellectual disabilities, or specific cognitive strengths and weaknesses. - Memory
Memory assessments evaluate both short-term and long-term memory functioning, helping to identify issues such as memory loss, cognitive decline, or memory-related disorders. - Personality
Personality assessments help to understand an individual’s character traits, emotional patterns, and behavioral tendencies. These tests are often used to diagnose personality disorders and to guide therapeutic interventions. - Attention
Attention tests measure the ability to focus, sustain concentration, and manage distractions. These assessments are crucial for diagnosing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other attention-related issues. - Motor Functioning
Motor functioning tests evaluate fine and gross motor skills, coordination, and motor speed. These assessments are particularly important for individuals with neurological conditions or developmental disorders. - Receptive and Expressive Language
Language assessments measure the ability to understand (receptive language) and produce (expressive language) speech and written language. These tests are essential for diagnosing language disorders, learning disabilities, and communication challenges. - Auditory Skills
Auditory skills assessments evaluate an individual’s ability to process and interpret sounds. These tests can help identify auditory processing disorders, which can affect learning and communication. - Attentional Control
Attentional control assessments measure the ability to regulate attention and manage cognitive tasks effectively. These evaluations are useful for diagnosing executive function disorders and other cognitive control issues.

- Diagnosis and Treatment Planning: Accurate diagnoses help clinicians develop targeted treatment plans that address specific cognitive and emotional challenges.
