Each situation is different. The testing psychologist will ask for the relevant information in the intake session and will give recommendations on how to proceed.
Generally speaking, we do not test individuals if they have been assessed with the same test within the past year.
Young children (3-4 years old) in Douglas County who are suspected to be gifted can be assessed through the Douglas County School District Early Access procedures.
The process includes an initial intake appointment with a testing psychologist.
During the intake appointment,
We determine what questions need to be answered. For example,
Does my child have AD/HD?
Are we an appropriate fit for international adoption?
Will I be a risk for violence at my place of employment?
Does a learning disorder get in the way of my child’s academic achievement?
Is my child gifted?
We begin to gather information to determine the answer to these answer these questions.
We give you a recommendation form with assessments that will be needed to answer the questions (or we would recommend no further testing).
We then schedule testing sessions and give you any checklists to fill out.
We complete the testing sessions as needed.
Finally, we schedule a feedback session at least a week after the final testing session. At the feedback session, we give you the results of the assessments, and answer the questions that prompted this process. We provide a written report with the results and answer questions you have.
