Information about Evaluations:
Psychological evaluations typically include direct psychological testing, consultation with parents and treating educational professionals, and a behavioral observation (in school, social setting, or home). Children may be referred for evaluation to address a wide variety of childhood developmental, learning, behavioral, or social-emotional conditions and to determine the best next steps for the child and family. Psychologists at PsychServes also collaborate with public schools and other professionals in the assessment process to provide comprehensive services for the families we serve.
