Comprehensive Neuropsychological and Educational testing

[waterlilies2018]

I'm new here. I'm looking to have my teen tested- complete neuropsychological and educational evaluation. Any suggestions on what to look for and what to avoid when it comes to testing centers?

We used a private practice referred to us by our pediatrician. That may be a good place to start your search. The school counselor may have some suggestions, or the school district may do evaluations as well.

I found mine from Yelp. Seems like usually the Clinical Psychologist are the one doing the comprehensive evaluation. You will have to call the office to find out. My child's test was divided into 2 sessions for about 1.5-2 hrs each, then another final session for the parents to go through results. The draw back is that a psychologist cannot prescribe medication if that's the route you want to take, they only offer behavioral therapy.
