Comprehensive Evaluations

Psychologists at the LEARN Clinic conduct comprehensive evaluations for attention and learning problems, including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disabilities. Comprehensive evaluations typically involve interviews and testing, and a feedback session. Following the evaluation, the psychologist will write a detailed report that will be mailed to the client. During the testing, the client works one-on-one with a psychologist who administers assessments to address the areas of concern. Examples of assessments include tests of intellectual abilities, academic achievement, memory, and learning.

Kindergarten / School Readiness Testing

Some families require school readiness evaluations to determine whether their child qualifies for early admission to kindergarten or first grade. Kindergarten / School Readiness Testing takes approximately 2.5 - 3 hours and involves assessment of the following domains of functioning:

  1. Mental ability
  2. Gross and fine motor skills
  3. Auditory discrimination
  4. Visual discrimination
  5. Social-emotional development

Giftedness and Intellectual Testing

Specific schools and giftedness programs may require testing for admission. Giftedness testing takes approximately two hours and may involve assessment of intellectual ability only or intellectual ability plus academic achievement. Parents must contact the school in order to find out what the school requires for admission. Assessments include a written report and a telephone feedback session.

Consultations and Follow-up Services

Some clients may wish to meet with a psychologist before deciding whether to schedule a comprehensive evaluation or in order to review results of previous evaluations. The LEARN Clinic provides consultation services to meet this need. A one hour consultation costs $300.
