About the Evaluation Process

Initial 15 minute phone call to discuss the evaluation process. If interested in scheduling, we will have a 60-90 minute meeting with parents to review background information, discuss testing process, and schedule testing appointments.

Psychological evaluation- typically 4 to 6 hours over 1 to 2 days

Therapeutic/collaborative psychological evaluation-multiple sessions over several weeks, depending on the specific assessment questions

A comprehensive written report will be provided within 2 to 3 weeks after feedback session, including detailed results of evaluation, diagnoses, and recommendations. This report can be provided to any relevant professionals, including school, doctors, therapists, etc.

For a therapeutic/collaborative evaluation, a letter will be provided to parents and adolescent, and a formal written report can be provided as needed. 

As needed, follow-up may include:

Check-in session on progress based on recommendations

Participation in school meetings, including IEP meetings, hearings, planning meetings, etc.

Ongoing individual, family, or parenting sessions

Periodic re-evaluations

If you are looking for a formal diagnosis, school accommodations, or have specific academic concerns, you likely need a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation. If you are hoping to learn more about your child's social, emotional, or behavioral functioning in order to inform therapy goals, gain a deeper understanding of your child, or address difficulties within the family, a therapeutic/collaborative evaluation might be right for you. I am happy to more fully discuss your options and help you decide if and what type of evaluation is best for you.
