What’s Involved in Your Assessment?
A comprehensive assessment involves 15 to 20 hours of work that includes: test administration, scoring, test interpretation, data analysis, diagnostic formulation, interviews (with the client, parents, teachers, therapist, doctors, etc…), report writing, and feedback/result sessions. Clear Foundations assessments are comprehensive and investigate multiple facets that could contribute to a person’s mindset and feelings.
Why Choose Comprehensive Assessments Over Low-Cost Alternatives?
Not all assessments are created equal. Some providers offer low-cost evaluations that are often incomplete and miss information that may be vital to successful treatment planning. Less expensive evaluations often entice people, but fail to consider the “whole person”. For example, inattention can be a symptom of multiple psychological concerns. If you seek an ADHD-only assessment, you may miss important information and be misdiagnosed. An accurate diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. People often leave with an incomplete picture of their psychological functioning while still paying a relatively large amount. When it comes to psychological assessment, sometimes you really “get what you pay for”.
