Evaluation services are offered for a variety of needs and concerns.

Comprehensive Evaluations

Comprehensive psychological and psycho-educational evaluations for specific disability concerns include comprehensive reports with detailed recommendations. Additional services may be available as part of follow-up care, including continued consultation and support for school meetings, and charges for these services will be assessed separately.

Comprehensive, diagnostic evaluation generally requires one parent interview (intake) session, 1-3 testing sessions (1-2 hours each), time for test scoring and interpretation, report writing, and a feedback appointment. Information is collected from both home and school settings via rating scales, questionnaire forms, and direct conversation. If desired, school observations may also take place.

Currently, intake and feedback sessions take place via Telehealth and in-person testing sessions take place in Tacoma.
