Psychological testing provides information for diagnosis, therapy treatment planning, academic programs, medication treatment planning and for a better understanding of the etiology of behavior. For children, academic achievement, ability, and intelligence tests may be utilized as a tool to assist in school placement, in determining the presence of a learning disability or a developmental delay, or in identifying giftedness. The most comprehensive levels of testing, the neuropsychological assessments, examines how a client’s brain functions and why there may be problems in school, at home, with friends, or with overall success.
Why Psychological Assessment is needed?
It sounds so serious; “Psychological Testing, Assessment or Evaluation”, but it really isn’t and there’s nothing to fear. In many ways, psychological testing and assessment are similar to medical tests. If a patient has physical symptoms, a primary care provider may order X-rays or blood tests to understand what’s causing those symptoms. The results of the tests will help inform and develop a plan for treatment. Psychological evaluations serve the same purpose. Psychologists use tests and other assessment tools to measure and observe a client’s behavior, thoughts and emotions to arrive at a diagnosis, qualify for needed services, and guide treatment.
