How an evaluation works
Initial appointment
About an hour with a psychologist to understand your concerns and decide which tests fit.
Testing
Usually 2 to 6 hours in person, sometimes split over two days to keep fatigue down.
Scoring and report
Your psychologist reviews every test and questionnaire, then writes a full report.
Feedback session
We walk you through the results, what they mean, and the recommended next steps.
4 to 6 weeks start to finish. Plan ahead if you have a deadline.
All tests and questionnaires must be complete before the report is finished.
Psychological, neuropsychological, or educational?
These terms are often used interchangeably, but they answer different questions.
| Type | What it measures | Often used for |
|---|---|---|
| Psychological | Mental attributes, personality, behavior, and achievement | ADHD, emotional and behavioral concerns, pre-surgical evaluations |
| Neuropsychological | Whether brain dysfunction is present, its nature, and its extent: memory, language, learning, attention, and visuospatial skills | Memory loss and dementia, head injury and concussion, epilepsy, neuro-oncology |
| Educational also called psychoeducational or academic | Learning in reading, writing, math, and oral expression | Learning disorders and school accommodations |
Before your first appointment
Once you're scheduled, we'll invite you to our secure client portal. There you can view appointments, message your clinician, complete registration forms and questionnaires, and make payments.
For school-age evaluations, we'll also ask for the email addresses of 2 or 3 educators, such as teachers, tutors, or school counselors, so we can send them a standard questionnaire.
Who receives the report
You'll sign a release of information naming who may receive your report, such as a family member or your doctor. For some evaluations, such as pre-bariatric surgery, the report goes to the medical team rather than the patient. Any outstanding balance must be paid before the report is released.
