Evaluation Process
-
Initial Consultation
The first step is calling our office for a phone consultation to discuss if a neuropsychological evaluation would be helpful for your child. If you decide to proceed, we send you background history and consent forms to complete and sign electronically.
-
Parent Interview
We meet virtually for approximately one hour to discuss concerns regarding your child’s thinking skills, emotions, social functioning, and behavior. We also gather more background information to help guide how we will structure testing.
-
Testing Session
Your child completes paper-and-pencil and computerized tasks to measure his or her thinking skills and other aspects of functioning. This usually occurs on one day at our Portland office and takes between 3-8 hours depending on the type of evaluation. Breaks are provided as needed.
-
Feedback Session
We meet again for an hour a few weeks later to discuss results, any diagnoses, clinical impressions, and recommendations on how to best support your child in different settings. You will then receive a complete report.
