Don’t Wait Until Summer to Book Your Child’s Testing Appointment

Four Considerations When Scheduling Psychological Testing

As parents, we’re always looking for ways to support and understand our children better, especially when it comes to their cognitive and emotional well-being. Now is the perfect time to start thinking about scheduling testing services. Here’s why:

1. Capitalizing on Current School Year Insights

An essential component of the psychoeducational testing of minor children involves gathering school-based data, which offers invaluable insights into your child’s learning and behavioral patterns. By scheduling now, we can collaborate with your child’s current teachers before they are off for their summer break. This timely data collection allows for a more comprehensive and accurate assessment, leveraging the observations and experiences of those who interact with your child in an educational setting.

2. Planning Ahead for the Next Academic Year

Early testing and assessment means you can start planning for any support your child might need in the next academic year. Whether it’s academic accommodations, learning strategies, or emotional support, early identification of these needs ensures that your child won’t have to face unnecessary hurdles or delays when they return to school.

3. Focusing on Executive Functioning Skills Over the Summer

Summer offers a unique opportunity to work on areas like executive functioning outside the usual academic pressures. By understanding your child’s specific needs through our testing, you can help them develop crucial skills such as scheduling, task and time management, and efficient transitioning between activities. This prepares them for the next school year and contributes to their overall personal development.

4. Taking Advantage of Our Increased Availability
