Evaluation Process
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Evaluations for ADHD aim to determine the presence and extent of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms. By using clinical interviews, behavioral rating scales, cognitive tests, and observations, our team gathers comprehensive information about attention span, impulsivity, and hyperactivity to inform accurate diagnosis and effective interventions.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Assessing for Autism Spectrum Disorder involves identifying characteristics and behaviors associated with ASD through structured interviews, observations, standardized assessments, and developmental history reviews. This helps us understand social communication skills, repetitive behaviors, and sensory sensitivities, facilitating accurate diagnosis and personalized support plans.
Specific Learning Disorder*
Evaluations for Specific Learning Disorders diagnose difficulties in reading, writing, or mathematics. Using standardized tests and cognitive assessments, our team pinpoints learning challenges and their causes. This information aids in developing tailored educational strategies and interventions to support academic success.
*May not be covered by some insurances.
Emotional Disorder
Psychological evaluations for emotional disorders focus on understanding an individual's emotional health and stability. This involves clinical interviews and standardized tests to identify issues like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder and develop targeted treatment plans tailored to the individual's emotional needs.
Personality Disorder
Assessing for personality disorders involves identifying enduring patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience that cause distress or impairment. Through structured interviews and standardized personality assessments, our team diagnoses specific personality disorders and informs appropriate therapeutic approaches and interventions.
