Assessment

Unlike most places, all ApaCenter assessments are conducted by Licensed Psychologists. That means that a Ph.D. with a license in psychology will do all the testing themselves, write the entire report, and personally give you a one hour feedback session. Also, a psychologist who specializes in your area of interest will conduct the assessment. We conduct assessments for Asperger’s Syndrome and high functioning autism for people who range from age 3 through adulthood.

Several of our Licensed Psychologists at the ApaCenter also are Licensed Specialists in School Psychology (LSSPs) and are experienced at working within schools and with school staff. So, we will be able to tailor our assessments to meet the specific needs of schools when eligibility for special education and/or 504 services is in question.

For information on how you will receive the assessment results and next steps please see our article, What’s Next.

Unless otherwise noted, all ApaCenter assessments will include the following:

  • Review of developmental, medical, behavioral, and family history
  • A clinical interview
  • Review of report cards, teacher information, results of school administered standardized tests (for students), and results of other psychological evaluations
  • Individual testing in areas such as cognitive abilities, memory, attention, academic and language skills, and emotional/behavioral functioning
  • A comprehensive report that includes answers to your specific questions, identification of strengths and weaknesses, diagnoses, educational/vocational implications, and recommendations
  • A one hour feedback session with the Licensed Psychologist who conducted the assessment
