HOW CAN PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING HELP?

Psychological assessment is often helpful in understanding the strengths and challenges someone may have in their cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functioning. The psychological assessment process allows for diagnostic clarity and individualized recommendations. We are happy to offer psychological assessments for adults, as well as children. Often, children who are struggling with academic work, social interactions, and emotion regulation have atypical neurological development that can be identified through psychological assessment. This allows for parents, teachers, and therapists to provide intervention and accommodations needed to allow each child to reach their potential. Your child’s school, pediatrician, or mental health provider may refer you, but a professional referral is not necessary for testing.  

WHAT IS TESTING?

The Scott Group is offering psychological assessment services for children and adults in Frankfort, Kentucky and the surrounding areas. Depending on the presenting concerns, the psychological assessment may include several domains including cognitive, academic, neurodevelopmental and social-emotional. Testing activities can include a variety of questions, puzzles, drawings, and stories as well as some school-like tasks like reading, writing and math.

The assessment process includes an initial intake, during which pertinent historical and familial information is gathered. This is followed by the testing, during which the assessment takes place, and finally a feedback session where results and recommendations will be discussed.

Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.
