We offer brief screenings at a fraction of the cost of a comprehensive assessment and results are available on the same day.
Intelligence (IQ) Screening
While an IQ score does not imply whether an individual is "smart" or not, it can be helpful in understanding reasonable expectations for one's self. People who doubt their ability may be surprised at how they compare to most people. The IQ screening allows for a brief measure of intelligence by assessing two types of skills - verbal (acquired knowledge and vocabulary) and nonverbal (novel problem solving). The purpose of an IQ screening is to get an overall estimate of one's abilities and/or determine the need for a more comprehensive assessment. IQ screening can also be used to determine eligibility for gifted and talented education (GATE) programs.
Dyslexia Screening
Dyslexia is a type of learning disability that is specific to reading. If you worry your child may have dyslexia, a brief screening would be a cost-effective and time-saving way to get some peace of mind. Results may suggest that your child does not display traits of dyslexia; however, if results suggest the need for a more in-depth assessment, the screening fee can be applied to the cost of a comprehensive diagnostic assessment.
