Assessments

How is my child doing?

Many parents have questions about the emotional, behavioral, and academic functioning of their children. The BYU Comprehensive Clinic provides a wide range of psychological testing.  This could include: intelligence assessment; learning disability evaluation; Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder; personality assessment; autism and other pervasive developmental disorders, and many other psychological or emotional diagnoses.

What’s going on with this adult?

You may have questions about the emotional, behavioral, or intellectual functioning of an adult client, loved one, neighbor, or yourself.  This could include: intelligence assessment; learning disability evaluation; Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder; personality assessment; and many other psychological or emotional diagnoses.  We can address these concerns with a psychological assessment.

Neuropsychological Examinations

Neuropsychological assessments are provided to evaluate functioning across several cognitive domains, inclucing attention, sensation and perception, visuospatial ability, motor function, language ability, and executive function.  These assessments are often performed after there has been a brain insult, such as brain injury from an accident, hypoxia (deprivation of adequate oxygen) at birth, strokes, etc.

We don’t…

We provide a service for the community and we have a limited number of students who can do testing. As a result, we perform assessments for those who are most likely to benefit from the testing. For example, wanting to know one’s IQ for curiosity would not be a sufficient reason to complete an assessment.

We also do not perform custody evaluations, court ordered evaluations, or assessments to support a civil suit.    Clients who are applying for Social Security Disability should use the licensed psychologists that the Division of Disability Services will provide.
