Assessments
We look at the person through a holistic lens in order to create the most efficient intervention plan tailored according to the need of the client. A psychological assessment is typically requested by children and adults to measure their intellectual, emotional, learning, and behavioral functioning.
Whether you are a student or a working professional, this assessment can give you a valuable insight into yourself and your mind.

Process
The assessment procedure would include:
- A one-hour consultation session that takes place at Insights Therapy Center to review the client’s background information and concerns.
- An appointment will then be scheduled for the assessment decided on during the consultation session.
- Some assessments are completed in a single sitting. Whereas, the longer assessments or more than one assessment if needed, may be conducted over the course of two or three days (a total of six to seven hours approximately).
- Once all the data is collected, our neuropsychologist will work on preparing a general or detailed report (if requested) which would include assessment scores & results, along with intervention suggestions and recommendations.
- The assessment process ends with a face-to-face feedback session lasting 30 minutes to one hour, which is provided to the parents, client, school/college, to discuss intervention strategies or a treatment plan that can be customized to the needs of the client.
