Neuropsychological Testing​

 


Evaluation Process​
Neuropsychological testing, cognitive evaluations, psychological testing, and academic testing all require a thorough knowledge of all aspects of your background and history. Each assessment will begin with an intake which will inform the testing scheduled. You will be asked to provide information about your medical, psychological, educational, and social history. We also will discuss your goals for the testing such as the referral question as well as any questions you would like to have answered.

If you are seeking testing for your child, you and your child will participate in the intake process. We may also contact your child’s school to gather information and data about their learning, behavior, and presentation at school.

You and/or your child will be asked to answer questions, fill out questionnaires and/or rating scales, and solve problems and complete various tasks, depending on the objective of the evaluation. Results will be interpreted and shared through an evaluation report. The report will also offer recommendations for school and/or treatment planning.

Follow-up feedback sessions are offered to review the testing findings and recommendations.


PVD Psychological Associates offers neuropsychological, psychological, and achievement testing for individuals ages 7 and older.

“No Contact Rules With Exes” — Nicole Issa, PsyD It can be difficult enough to move on after a breakup, but when there is an established dynamic of continuing to contact your partner (and vice versa) after the relationship ends, this can turn from difficult to toxic. These types of contact can be hurtful and confusing, and ultimately prevent you and your ex from being able to process the break up and move on. In some instances, when there is repeated contact post-breakup, one or both of you may be fishing for some sort of reaction. For example, you might text your ex because you are still angry and trying to provoke them and continue to argue. Another instance might be repeated bids to get your ex to reconsider the break up. If this type of thing is happening, establishing a “no contact” rule for a period of time whether mutually agreed upon or not may be helpful. It is healthy to be able to recognize when a relational dynamic is unproductive or harmful and to set boundaries in ...
