Your Questions About Psychological Testing Answered

What is psychological testing, and why might my child need it?

Psychological testing is a comprehensive evaluation that uses standardized activities and assessments to gain deep insights into your child’s cognitive abilities, learning styles, emotional well-being, and behavioral patterns. Children often need testing when they are struggling academically, emotionally, or behaviorally, and parents seek clear answers to understand the root cause and effective ways to help them thrive.

We recommend explaining it in a positive, reassuring way, tailored to their age. You can tell them they will be meeting a friendly doctor who helps kids learn and understand how their brains work best. Avoid using the word “test” in a way that implies passing or failing. We’ll provide specific guidance on how to prepare your child during your initial consultation.

Testing sessions are designed to be engaging and age-appropriate. Your child will participate in various activities, puzzles, and questions that explore different areas of functioning. Breaks are provided, and our compassionate team members ensure your child feels comfortable and supported throughout the process. The number and length of sessions vary based on the child’s age and the type of evaluation.

The duration can vary depending on the complexity of the evaluation. Generally, from your initial consultation to receiving your comprehensive report and feedback session, the process typically spans about 4 weeks. We will provide you with a more precise timeline during your intake.

You will receive a comprehensive, easy-to-understand written report detailing the findings, diagnostic clarity (if applicable), and most importantly, specific, actionable recommendations tailored for your child. This report is a powerful tool to share with schools for accommodations (like IEPs or 504 Plans), therapists for targeted interventions, and for you to implement strategies at home to better support your child’s unique needs.

Your child’s privacy and confidentiality are paramount. All information gathered during testing is strictly confidential. Results and recommendations are only shared with you as the legal guardian(s) and with other professionals (like teachers or therapists) with your explicit written consent via a signed Release of Information. We adhere to all HIPAA guidelines to protect your family’s information.

Psychological testing at Intuition Wellness Center is provided on a self-pay basis, and we do not accept insurance directly. However, we are happy to provide you with a superbill which you can submit to your insurance company to seek reimbursement for out-of-network services, depending on your plan’s benefits. To help make comprehensive evaluations more accessible, we also offer psychological testing services completed by our training department team members, supervised directly by Dr. Mahoney, which are offered at a reduced rate. We believe in transparency and will discuss all fees and payment options thoroughly during your initial consultation.
