Comprehensive Psychological Assessments
A comprehensive psychological assessment is a tool that parents can use to determine how to best serve their child in all areas of his or her life - home, school, and in social situations. Some of the most common reasons to seek a psychological assessment include:
-
To obtain information about a child's learning style and academic strengths and weaknesses
-
To explain behaviors such as inattention, poor organization, hyperactivity, low motivation, homework struggles, impulsivity, or low frustration tolerance
-
To understand a child's difficulty acquiring academic skills, poor school performance and/or academic decline
-
To explain behaviors such as lack of motivation, underachievement, or difficulty appropriately managing demands, schedules and priorities
-
To explain delays in the development of social skills or emotional maturity, including difficulties making friends, excessive anxiety, perfectionism or excessive shyness
-
To document the need for accommodations in school or on standardized tests
-
To assist in determining eligibility for an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan
-
To develop individualized recommendations to promote academic and social success
