Psychological assessments are a vital resource that captures the presentation of the client in the most accurate manner possible. This report vitally informs diagnosis and mental health care treatment across settings. Psychological measures are developed to be reliable and provide clarity on a person’s intellectual, academic, and emotional proficiency that can be presented in a variety of settings to inform care. 

 

Psychological evaluations draw from a wide variety of information sources to present a clear and accurate picture of an individual’s current functioning. These assessments incorporate standardized testing, self-reports, and collateral input, which are synthesized to provide diagnostic insights and guide treatment recommendations. Comprehensive in nature, psychological assessments examine cognitive, academic, adaptive, and emotional-behavioral functioning. They also provide a picture of a person’s executive functions such as attention, memory, and visual or auditory processing. The findings are compiled into a single report that can be used across various settings to identify strengths and areas of need across multiple domains.

​
