Psychological Assessments & Evaluations We Offer:

These evaluations involve a series of standardized psychological tests that assess an individual’s attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The results provide detailed insights into cognitive strengths and weaknesses, ADHD diagnosis and guiding effective strategies for support and management.
-
An ADHD screening or assessment is an evaluation that can diagnose ADHD; it’s not a test.
An ADHD assessment is often done when a parent, teacher or pediatrician notices ADHD symptoms in a child that are interfering with their ability to function at home and in school.
If you notice behavioral changes in your child or experience ADHD symptoms as an adult, your healthcare provider may order an ADHD assessment. There’s no cure for ADHD. But having an ADHD evaluation and early diagnosis can improve quality of life sooner since this condition can be accompanied by learning and behavioral problems.
Psychological Assessments
Psychological assessment is a process of testing that uses a combination of techniques to help arrive at some hypotheses about a person and their behavior, personality, and capabilities.
-
Psychologists use tests and other assessment tools to measure and observe a client’s behavior to arrive at a diagnosis and guide treatment. If a person is having problems at work or school, or in personal relationships, tests can help a psychologist understand whether he or she might have issues with anger management or interpersonal skills, or certain personality traits that contribute to the problem. Other tests evaluate whether clients are experiencing emotional disorders such as anxiety or depression.
Psychoeducational Evaluations
These evaluations are comprised of a series of standardized psychological tests that provide information about an individual’s level of intellectual functioning, academic achievement, learning strengths and weaknesses, information processing skills, and learning styles.
-
The results provide valuable information necessary to develop an individualized, finely tuned diagnosis and empirically based treatment plan. The results are utilized to develop recommendations for 504 plans or Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) that outline suggested educational accommodations necessary for academic success. Some examples of 504 accommodations include preferred seating, increased time for tests and extra help in Reading and/or Math.
Personality Assessments
Personality assessments play a crucial role in gaining a deeper understanding of oneself and making informed decisions. At CEPD Psych, our range of assessments, including the MMPI-3 and MMPI-Adolescent, can provide valuable insights into personality traits, emotional functioning, and psychopathology.
