Diagnostic Testing and Evaluation
After your initial interview with a Burrell clinical staff member, he or she may recommend additional
testing in order to reach a diagnostic conclusion. Burrell is able to provide diagnostic evaluations
for a variety of psychological, cognitive, attention, learning, educational, and personality concerns.
|
A psychological evaluation includes an interview with the psychologist and a comprehensive battery of
standardized paper and pencil tests of attention, concentration, memory, language, reasoning, and learning
strengths and weaknesses. The tests may also include measures of intellectual functioning and behavior
as well as instruments to assess mood, behavior and stress levels. These tests result in a thorough cognitive
and behavioral profile which provides the referring staff member with objective information about your child’s
functioning in terms of specific issues that may benefit from intervention. Coupled with the information
gathered during your initial interview, any previous testing, related records from other professionals as
well as information from your child’s school or daycare, the testing process generally results in a final
diagnosis, definitive conclusions and a comprehensive written report that allows you and the referring staff
member to understand what is going on with your child and how he or she can best be treated.
