Gifted Evaluations
Gifted testing is conducted to determine if a child meets the gifted eligibility criteria for placement in an enriched program at school. These evaluations include a standardized intellectual assessment and a parent interview.
Developmental/Autism Spectrum Evaluations
Developmental/autism spectrum evaluations include evaluating important aspects of a child's social interactions, communication, and behavior. These evaluations include a standardized academic achievement and intellectual assessment, behavioral observations, parent and teacher rating scales, and a parent developmental interview.
Learning Evaluations
Learning evaluations can be useful in determining a child's learning abilities and style of learning. This can include assessing for a learning disability such as a specific reading disability (dyslexia) or a specific math disability (dyscalculia). The results can assist in academic programs, planning interventions, developing teaching strategies, and requesting accommodations. These evaluations include a standardized academic achievement, intellectual, and auditory processing assessment, a review of medical and educational records, and a parent interview.
Emotional/Behavioral Evaluations
Emotional/behavioral evaluations can determine how a child or adolescent's emotional adjustment and behavioral functioning influences their academic and or social interactions with others. This can include assessing behavioral, personality, and executive functioning to assess for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder, anxiety, or depression. These evaluations include a standardized academic achievement assessment, projective testing, behavioral observations, self-report, parent, and teacher rating scales, and a student and parent interview.
