Defining the problem accurately is the first step to intervening effectively. It can be hard to know what to do without a clear picture of the problem. That is where a detailed assessment and intervention plan can ensure that you are directing resources appropriately. Assessment services can be targeted and specific, or offer a more comprehensive, wide-angle view.

Assessments for school-age through college students are usually comprehensive in nature and obtain multiple viewpoints including behavior ratings from parents, teachers and from the student, in addition to testing completed in a one-on-one setting.

Assessments for adults tend to be more focused on a specific question such as whether or not attention problems, anxiety or depression symptoms might be getting in the way of functioning. Together we can make a plan of assessment to inform accurate diagnosis and guide intervention based on a clear understanding of the problem.

Types of assessments offered:

  • Comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations for learning, emotional, behavioral and attention concerns.
  • Reevaluation of previously diagnosed learning, emotional or attention problems to use in college or graduate school planning.
  • Assessment/diagnosis of ADHD, detailed executive functioning analysis, and personalized goal setting plan to be used in therapy or coaching.
 
I do not hire other clinicians to conduct any part of my evaluations; all testing is completed by me, a doctoral level licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist with more than 25 years of assessment expertise.

Remote, Hybrid and In-Person testing options:

Some assessments, such as social-emotional evaluations and ADHD assessments, can be easily conducted entirely remotely. This is done through online ratings, and interviews and self-report assessments conducted in real time using a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. Comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations include cognitive, academic, memory and processing measures, which are components that are best conducted in person. For most psychoeducational evaluations, a hybrid model that includes telehealth sessions for intake and feedback sessions, and in-person testing testing sessions is a very effective model. My in-person testing sessions are conducted in my Atlanta area office located at 1 Concourse Pkwy, Suite 800, Atlanta, GA  30328.

Components of a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation:

  1. Intake session with parents (60 minutes, in person of telehealth)
  2. Two testing sessions for the student of about 3 hours each, conducted in person. One of these can be on a Saturday to reduce time out of school.
  3. Feedback session with parents  (75 minutes, in person or telehealth).
  4. Detailed written evaluation report 25+ pages with testing results, diagnoses if appropriate, and recommendations.
