Preparation
All pediatric and adult evaluations at Spectrum Psychological Services begin with an initial consultation designed to better understand the referral concerns and determine the appropriateness of testing. As part of this process, the psychologist gathers and reviews relevant records to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s history and current functioning. Based on this information, the psychologist selects the most appropriate assessment measures and develops a personalized testing plan.
