This assessment also includes ADHD symptomology, memory, and language screenings. 

Purpose of Cognitive Evaluation (Full Battery of Tests):

• Re-evaluation to measure progress

• Support documentation for application to a specialized private school

• Individualized recommendations designed to address the students’ needs

The diagnostician will also meet with the parents and/or student to review the results of the evaluation and discuss the diagnosis and resulting instructional recommendations for home, school, and possible tutoring.  Post-evaluation sessions usually range from 1-2 hours.
