We are a full-service testing facility with a team of educational, psychological, and forensic evaluation experts. We offer clinically comprehensive testing of the highest quality, with results and recommendations provided in clear and understandable language.
Each assessment is an opportunity for us to help an individual, child or family by finding strengths, any limitations, and unique needs, and providing helpful and practical recommendations for improvement and success. Recognizing the best evaluations are those that account for the uniqueness of each person being tested, we do not use a one-size-fits-all battery of tests. Whereas most evaluators own a fairly limited number of tests (and thus their test protocols all look alike), as a full-service facility committed to excellence in evaluation, we own a large variety of test instruments and add to it regularly. Thus our evaluation of you or your child is truly customized and will yield the most specific and useful information and results. Our turn-around time is also the absolute best in the area; we do not leave people waiting weeks for feedback when we recognize they are anxious to get their results. Read below for more information on our full range of educational evaluations, psychological evaluations, substance abuse evaluations, and forensic evaluations for all ages and situations.
