Psychological or Neuropsychological
Evaluations
A psychological or neuropsychological evaluation is a set of assessment procedures administered by a licensed psychologist, licensed educational psychologist or credentialed school psychologist to obtain information about a student's learning, behavior, and/or mental health. This assessment provides information that guides the development of a plan for intervention to support academic, emotional and behavioral functioning. We provide assessments to children, teens and adults. This 15 hour endeavor (approximately 10 hours of work together with you & your student) will provide a strength-based assessment in all areas of concern or question. The results will support building a profile of your child which can be used by you and your child’s support team to enhance the effectiveness of interventions.
