- Psychological and diagnostic testing. Our testing batteries are designed to assess the many different cognitive abilities and emotional structure of our patients including intelligence, academic achievement, memory, executive functioning, discrete neurological functions and social-emotional wellbeing. With each patient, we custom tailor our assessment batteries to fit their presenting needs. By gathering information on a patient’s performance across a wide variety of tasks we are able to construct a profile of the patient’s strengths, weaknesses and, most importantly, design services and accommodations that are most beneficial for them. Testing plays a key role in the identification of learning disorders, developmental disabilities, ADHD, autism, and mental health disorders.
