CHILD & ADOLESCENT TESTING & EVALUATION (AUSTIN)
Understanding the “Why” Behind the Struggles
A comprehensive psychological evaluation helps answer an essential question:
What is getting in the way—and how can we help?
Testing looks at the whole child, including:
Cognitive and academic skills
Attention and executive functioning
Emotional and behavioral functioning
Social relationships
Input from parents, teachers, and relevant records helps ensure a complete and accurate understanding.
