KLS Assessment Center provides a wide range of psychological testing and assessments, each led by psychologists with extensive experience and training in neuropsychological and psychological testing and interpretation. Testing services are offered at our Testing & Assessment Center.

How It Works

Intake: During this initial appointment, you will meet with your psychologist to review your expectations, what you have been experiencing, what your needs require, etc. This allows our psychologist to have a solid understanding about your testing/assessment needs. This will also be a time for you to ask questions and gain a general understanding of what the assessment process will entail.

​Assessment: During the assessment stage, you will come in for one or more appointments (if needed) in which your actual test/assessment will be conducted.

Review/Results: Once your psychologist has had time to analyze your results and write any needed reports, you will come in to meet with your psychologist to review your results and talk through any next steps.

Each evaluation additionally includes a comprehensive psychological evaluation, focused on assessing mental health, emotional functioning, and personality development.

A neuropsychological evaluation may be indicated for individuals with the following histories:

  • Medical diseases (including infections, cardiovascular difficulties, and degenerative disorders) and decreased mental functioning.
  • Substance abuse, including chemical agents such as heroin, cocaine, alcohol, marijuana, hallucinogens, synthetic drugs and prescribed medications, which can impact brain functioning.
  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and associated difficulties with attention and executive function.
  • Learning difficulties, including specific weaknesses in academic areas.
  • Neurodevelopmental delays, including Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Psychoeducational evaluations:
Results of testing may be used to determine whether a specific learning disability is present, with consideration of other factors that may be impacting academic potential (such as underlying attention deficits, anxiety, or depression). A psychoeducational assessment includes an evaluation of cognitive abilities, learning potential, academic achievement, and social-emotional functioning.

Psychoeducational evaluations can be useful in the following situations:

  • Academic underachievement
  • Determination of eligibility for Special Education services
  • Attentional deficits, with consideration of an ADHD diagnosis
  • Learning issues, with determination of a specific learning disorder
  • Social, emotional, or behavioral difficulties within the classroom environment

[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Psychoeducational Evaluations:” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%232788c9″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Given the rate of misdiagnosis for ADHD and associated consequences of medication management, the KLS Assessment Center offers an abbreviated, tailored assessment focused on screening for attention capacity, in order to confirm or deny a diagnosis of ADHD.

An ADHD assessment incorporates a psychosocial history, self-reported measures of symptoms, and direct standardized assessment of attention capacity and executive functioning. Screening measures are also included for emotional and personality functioning that can also contribute to difficulties sustaining attention.

Without an ADHD assessment, providers frequently misdiagnose ADHD based on a brief examination or cursory questionnaire without sufficient data to support this diagnosis. Our focused ADHD assessment is a combination of a clinical evaluation and limited testing battery, which can assist in assessing the appropriateness of prescribing stimulant medications, many of which are commonly prescribed without adequate information. An ADHD assessment is appropriate when a full neuropsychological evaluation is not indicated.
Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessment Battery (I wrote this one)
At KLS Assessment Center we administer what is said to be the “Gold Standard” of accumulative testing for ASD.  We do a psychosocial assessment gathering the history and development of the patient, a cognitive assessment as well as a specific Autism assessment with separate modules specified for toddler years through adult.
