OUR COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

The Comprehensive Psychological Assessment pairs your family with a licensed and certified Psychologist who will engage the child, family and school team in robust conversations, activities and standardized measures in order to understand more fully a child’s areas of strength and need. In addition, action-based interventions and strategies are provided for the home, school and community settings, and recommendations around next steps are given to both the family and the school in order to more fully support a child.

The IDS Comprehensive Psychological Assessment includes:

- gathering data through standardized and normed measures and questionnaires, 

- conducting clinical interviews and record reviews with family and school team members,  

- thoroughly analyzing all data gathered, and

- writing a detailed report of findings, analysis, and recommendations for next steps (to include: interventions needed, strategies, tools and resources for home and school success).


TIMING:

The service takes 3-4 weeks to complete upon commencement, due to the nature of multiple interviews; questionnaires to send and receive back, score and analyze; as well as the overall analysis of all data gathered and writing of recommendations and next steps.
