In general, most assessments include:
Going through an informed consent document to ensure that you are informed of the assessment process. We will discuss your concerns and specific questions you would like to have answered through the assessment.
A paper or electronic questionnaire for parents/guardians to complete to help gain a better understanding of the child/teen.
Depending on the specific assessment questions, parents/guardians, teachers, and child may be asked to complete online rating scales.
Approximately 1 to 3 one-on-one appointments with your child to complete the appropriate assessments. Each session is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. The standardized tests (e.g., WISC-V and WIAT-4) that I use in a psychological assessment depend on the specific assessment questions and are individually administered as clinically indicated.
A review of relevant documentation (e.g., report cards) and an analysis and interpretation of data.
A comprehensive written report detailing results and recommendations. Parents/guardian(s) will be invited to a meeting to review these results and recommendations.

All services are provided by a licensed psychologist and most healthcare insurance plans provide some coverage for psychological services. I will provide an electronic receipt for this purpose.
Please refer to the terms of your healthcare plan for detail regarding coverage. Psychological services are also an approved medical expense that can be claimed when completing your personal income tax.
