Psychological Evaluations
Our psychologists at High Hopes Psychological Services perform a variety of assessments, including psychological and developmental assessments. These assessments are typically performed to determine if individuals meet clinical criteria for diagnoses such as autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, anxiety, and depression.
What to Expect
A psychological evaluation is a comprehensive process that includes:
- Initial Consultation
The process begins with a conversation with one of our psychologists. They will ask about your personal history, current concerns, and any difficulties you may be experiencing.
- Questionnaires
You may be asked to fill out various forms. These forms are designed to assess different aspects of daily living, developmental, emotional, behavioral, or personality functioning.
- Standardized Tests
Depending on your needs, the assessment may include specific psychological tests to measure attention, memory, problem-solving skills, or feelings.
- Discussion of Results
After the evaluation, you will have a follow-up meeting to discuss the results. Our psychologists will provide feedback on their findings and may recommend treatment, therapy, or other forms of support.
