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.
