Understanding Intellectual Disabilities

Tailored Assessments for Any Age

Our Intellectual Disability evaluations are designed to help individuals determine and understand cognitive strengths and weaknesses as well as identify Intellectual Disabilities. Through a series of personalized assessments, we identify specific challenges and strengths with a combination of cognitive and adaptive testing. This process starts with a detailed interview to gather background information, followed by a combination of observational techniques and standardized testing. These methods are carefully chosen to suit each individual’s unique profile and circumstances, ensuring an accurate diagnostic impression.

We aim to provide our clients understanding of how Intellectual Disabilities affect daily life, focusing on the client’s specific cognitive profile. Our evaluations also explore how an Intellectual Disability impacts educational and occupational achievements. By thoroughly assessing each individual’s situation, we can tailor interventions specific to the client’s unique results. This comprehensive approach helps individuals and their families develop strategies that are effective and sustainable.

The benefits of undergoing our evaluations extend beyond diagnosis. Clients receive personalized advice on managing symptoms and making use of available resources. This can include strategies at home and in school, as well as workplace accommodations. Please note that we can offer an educational diagnosis for an Intellectual Disability, but do not provide a medical diagnosis or medications. If the individual meets the criteria for an Intellectual Disability, we refer you back to your doctor for medical diagnosis and treatment planning.
