When you are searching for a new direction, we will help you discover
possibilities for change. The Austin Psychological Assessment Center
(ApaCenter) is comprised of psychologists with different but overlapping
areas of expertise who conduct assessments to help you capitalize
on your strengths, work through your challenges, and reach your
goals. We work with individuals ranging in age from young children
through adults.
Some of our areas of specialization include:
Common uses of our assessments include:
- Making appropriate diagnoses and recommendations for treatment
- Developing educational recommendations for school and home-based
interventions
- Documenting the need for special education services
- Identifying the need for 504 program services at primary, secondary,
and college levels
- Determining the appropriateness of 504 accommodations such as
extended time on standardized tests (e.g., SAT, ACT, GRE)
The ApaCenter's goal is to provide you with the best assessment possible
to meet your needs. To this end, we have embraced many approaches
and procedures that set us apart from others that provide psychological
and educational evaluations:
- All testing and report-writing are completed by Licensed Psychologists
- Several ApaCenter psychologists are also Licensed Specialists
in School Psychology (LSSPs), which puts us in a unique position
to advocate for students in a way that the schools can understand
and implement
- A Licensed Psychologist who specializes in your area of interest/concern
will conduct the assessment
- ApaCenter assessments look at the whole person including strengths
and resources, and take into account the person's environment,
such as school and family settings
- A collaborative/team-based approach is used - our psychologists
consult with one another to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness
of our assessments
- Recommendations are based on empirically-supported research
findings and tailored to the needs of each client
- Assessment reports and feedback are usually given about 2-3
weeks after the testing is completed
Deciding whether to pursue an evaluation is a big decision, and
one in which you want to feel confident that your questions will
be answered to your satisfaction. Please take a few moments to browse
