What is a comprehensive psychological evaluation?

In many ways, psychological testing and assessment are like having a medical test that aids in ruling in or out a diagnosis. A psychological evaluation is a set of tests that help determine how your child’s brain functions and engages with the world. For instance, it will aid in understanding their cognitive functioning, memory, executive functioning, emotional functioning, how they learn, how they take in sensory information, if they are neurodiverse, have a mental health difficulty, etc. The results of the tests will then help inform the development of a treatment plan and recommendations to support your child.

✨ You are worried about them having Learning difficulties – struggling to understand and follow instructions, difficulties with spelling, reading, or math.
