Frequently Asked Questions About Our Psychological Assessments

A typical assessment takes place over the course of four sessions: intake interview, two testing sessions (lasting approximately 2-3 hours each), and a feedback session. Additional sessions may be required depending on the needs of the child or youth. The final report will be completed 2-3 weeks after the last testing session.

Most children can be seen for assessment within 4-8 weeks.
