Developmental Assessments
Gain clarity on your child’s development with expert assessments that identify strengths, challenges, and the support they need to thrive.
Comprehensive Developmental Assessments
Developmental assessments evaluate a child’s cognitive, social, emotional, and motor skills to determine if their growth aligns with typical developmental milestones. They help to identify potential delays or challenges early, allowing for targeted interventions that can improve learning, behavior, and overall well-being.
They are essential because early detection of developmental concerns—such as learning disabilities, autism, or ADHD—enables families and educators to implement support strategies that enhance a child’s success.
By understanding their unique strengths and challenges, professionals can recommend therapies, educational plans, or accommodations to foster healthier development.
These assessments include:
- Cognitive testing
- ADHD testing
- Learning disabilities testing (e.g., dyslexia), including reading, writing, and math disorders
- Intellectual and developmental delay testing
- Academic and educational assessments
- Developmental evaluations for cognitive, social, emotional, and daily skills
- Executive functioning assessments
- Giftedness testing
- Memory, neurological, and neuropsychological testing
- Processing speed testing
- Autism and spectrum disorder testing
- Traumatic brain injury and concussion evaluations
- Visual-spatial and visual-motor skills testing
- Vocational assessments
How Psychological Testing and Assessments Work
Psychological testing provides a clear, in-depth understanding of an individual’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. These assessments not only identify strengths and challenges but also serve as a foundation for tailored interventions and support systems.
Whether for academic, professional, or personal development, the insights gained from these evaluations can be life-changing.
- A comprehensive report will be provided, outlining specific, targeted recommendations for schools, colleges, home, and the workplace. This report can be used to secure accommodations through 504 plans, Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), and standardized testing accommodations.
- The psychologist conducting the assessment will guide you through the process of obtaining professional and psychoeducational support. Upon request, they can also attend 504 and IEP meetings to advocate for necessary accommodations.
- We have access to a large network of educational tutoring and vocational specialists and testing centers whom we collaborate with.
