When to Seek Testing for Your Child

It’s natural to wonder when challenges go beyond what’s typical. If your child often struggles with focus, emotions, learning, friendships, or school-related anxiety, an evaluation can help uncover what’s behind the behavior. Testing doesn’t label your child—it provides insight and guidance to support their growth and success.

What Parents Can Expect

We understand that testing can feel overwhelming, both for parents and kids. Our clinicians make the process as calm and comfortable as possible.

How Child Testing Works (Step-by-Step)

1. Parent Consultation

We start with a conversation to understand your child’s background, concerns, and goals.

2. Testing Sessions

Your child participates in structured activities, puzzles, and questionnaires in a relaxed setting.

3. Scoring & Analysis

Our clinicians interpret the data to identify strengths, challenges, and learning styles.

4. Feedback & Next Steps

We meet with parents to review findings, share a written report, and outline recommendations for home and school.

FAQs: Child & Adolescent Testing

What’s the difference between a school evaluation and private testing?

School evaluations are designed to determine eligibility for services under an IEP or 504 Plan, focusing mainly on academic performance. Private psychological testing for children, on the other hand, offers a deeper understanding of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral functioning — and provides recommendations that go beyond school support.

How do I prepare my child for psychological testing?

Explain that they’ll be doing puzzles, questions, and games to help adults understand how they learn best. Make sure they’re well-rested and have a snack beforehand. Our team uses a calm, encouraging approach so testing feels safe and positive.

What if my child already had school testing?

That’s okay! We can build on existing data to clarify results, explore emotional concerns, or identify areas schools didn’t assess in depth.
