PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING

abouttesting
Psychological testing is for children, adolescents, and adults. It involves a complex process of evaluating an individual in order to gain an understanding of how they uniquely function. Using interviews and a battery of tests, information is obtained and integrated to produce a comprehensive report.
The psychological testing will determine whether a person has any specific diagnosis related to learning, mood disorders, personality, or relationship problems. Based on the results of the testing, a diagnosis can be made and recommendations can determine a treatment plan, assist in medication planning, and identify the best academic accommodations and placement.
