Our comprehensive educational and psychological testing services are designed to provide you with the insights and guidance you need to address behavioral and learning challenges.
Tailored Assessments for Enhanced Understanding
- Psychological and Diagnostic Evaluations: Our differential diagnosis approach helps identify the underlying factors contributing to difficulties in socializing or focusing at school, work, or home. We assess cognitive and behavioral development, auditory and visual processing, memory, personality, intelligence, social intelligence, motivation, and analytical abilities.
- ADHD and ADD Assessment: We use standardized tests to objectively evaluate and diagnose ADHD and ADD. If diagnosed, we provide family and/or individual counseling, recommend changes in the learning environment, offer behavioral therapy, and make referrals for medication consultation when appropriate.
- Autism Testing: Our differential diagnosis of autism and other neurodivergent disorders using the most up-to-date, comprehensive valid assessment measures will be completed by qualified psychologists.
- Learning Disabilities Evaluation: If your child faces challenges in school, we conduct extensive diagnostic testing to assess potential learning disabilities, including dyslexia, memory impairments, language difficulties, and more. We can also help determine eligibility for IEP or 504 interventions at school or accommodations for standardized tests like the GRE, LSAT, or ACT.
- Academic Problems & School Placement: Our team addresses a wide range of academic issues, from poor study skills and bullying to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and motivation. We guide you in selecting the right school for your child based on their unique values and aptitudes and assist with accommodations for college or professional school entrance exams.
- Mood and Personality Disorders Assessment: We evaluate inherited mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disease, offering a combination of medication, cognitive-behavioral therapy, self-soothing techniques, and stress management to stabilize and correct these conditions. Additionally, we address personality development issues such as borderline personality and narcissism, often linked to early childhood trauma, poor attachment, abuse, neglect, and loss.
- Gifted Placements and Intelligence Testing: Our comprehensive IQ testing helps identify both strengths and areas of weakness. If your child is gifted, we work with you to create a nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters their intellectual growth and development in alignment with their heightened intelligence.
At Family Psychological Services, our educational and psychological testing services empower you with knowledge and insights to make informed decisions about your mental health and cognitive abilities, paving the way for personal growth and well-being.
