psychological testing & assessment
Psychological testing and assessment can be helpful in a wide variety of situations.
Academic Needs -- Sometimes a child, teen or young adult may be struggling academically in ways that are not immediately understandable. Psychological testing and assessment can help to clarify a person's overall intellectual ability, his individual strengths and limitations, her special learning needs, and personality functioning. Results of an evaluation can be used to help educators develop an individualized education plan that helps a child, teen or young adult to learn and achieve in her own personal way that ensures one reaches his or her own potential for greatness.
Employment Needs -- Some types of employment decisions are enhanced with pre-employment and fitness for duty evaluations. Thesetypes of evaluations help determine the best fit between an individual and a specific type of work needed by an employer. Interpersonal strengths and limitations can be identified; specific aptitudes can be assessed, and personality style can all be measured and described in a report that benefits both the employee as well as the employer.
Disability Evaluations -- When a person has a psychological or emotional condition that interferes with the ability to perform work responsibilities, a disability evaluation can provide information needed by employers and insurance carriers. Whether the disabling condition is clear or ambiguous, the degree of impairment is often something that needs to be clarified through psychological testing and assessment.
