Understanding, not only a score

Assessment is not simply about obtaining a score. Results are interpreted within the context of the individual's history, presenting concerns, developmental stage, and circumstances.

About

Psychological Assessment

Depending on the referral question and clinical context, assessment may involve a clinical interview, relevant background information, behavioral observations, and standardized psychological measures where indicated. Availability depends on the purpose of the assessment, the age of the client, the presenting concern, and the methods appropriate to the case. This can include adolescents and adults.

The process typically begins by clarifying the purpose and referral question, then gathering relevant personal, developmental, and clinical history. Assessment methods are selected to fit the individual's needs. Findings are integrated with clinical information, discussed in terms of their clinical meaning, and followed by recommendations suited to the purpose of the assessment.
