Assessments
Psychological assessments are a means of gathering information from various sources (e.g., observations, interviews, school records and formal testing methods) to gain a comprehensive understanding of you or your child’s strengths and weaknesses and make an accurate diagnosis. The heart of our assessments is our recommendations, which are tailored to you or your child’s unique strengths and needs so that challenges can be overcome.
