Psychology Partners Group offers psychoeducational, neuropsychological, autism spectrum, and cognitive and admissions testing for people from preschool age through adulthood. Testing looks at how a person thinks, learns, pays attention, and manages emotions. Each evaluation ends with a written report and a feedback session that explain what the findings mean and what to do next.
The process usually takes about three weeks, and the first consultation is free. We offer testing in Chappaqua and Hartsdale.
Four steps from first conversation
to feedback
Testing follows a defined process that usually takes about three weeks. Your clinician explains each step as you go.
-
1
Intake
A 60-minute conversation about the question that brought you in, history, and concerns. We outline which measures make sense and answer your questions about the process.
-
2
Testing
Direct testing sessions, typically two to four, tailored to the question. Standardized measures, paced for the person being tested.
-
3
Analysis
The evaluator scores and integrates the results and writes a full report, typically 15 to 25 pages, with findings and specific recommendations.
-
4
Feedback
A dedicated feedback session walks through the findings in plain language and turns the report into next steps at home, at school, and in any follow-up care.
Which Evaluation Fits Your Question?
Learning and Attention
Questions about school performance, reading, writing, math, attention, or executive functioning. Psychoeducational and neuropsychological testing looks at these areas.
Autism Spectrum
Questions about whether a child, teen, or adult may be autistic. Autism spectrum testing uses evidence-based diagnostic tools.
School and Program Admissions
Cognitive testing for private school admissions, gifted programs, or placement. Cognitive and admissions testing measures intellectual abilities.
Psychoeducational and Neuropsychological Testing
These evaluations measure cognitive abilities such as reasoning, memory, language, and executive functioning, along with academic skills and emotional and behavioral functioning. They are used to understand learning differences such as dyslexia and dyscalculia, ADHD, and emotional concerns such as anxiety and depression.
Who It Is For
- Parents of children, from preschool through high school, who are concerned about learning, attention, or school progress
- Teens and adults who want to understand their cognitive strengths and challenges
- Families who need documentation to request school supports such as an IEP or a 504 plan
When It Helps
- A child is falling behind or working much harder than classmates
- There are questions about ADHD or attention
- A specific learning disability may be present
- Results are needed to guide therapy, psychiatry, or counseling plans
Autism Spectrum Testing
Autism evaluations use evidence-based diagnostic tools, including the ADOS-2 and MIGDAS-2, along with a review of development, social communication, sensory experience, and daily functioning. The evaluation can also include cognitive and academic testing, so the report reflects strengths as well as support needs.
Who It Is For
- Parents who wonder whether their child may be autistic
- Teens and adults who suspect they may be autistic, or who want to understand long-standing differences in communication, sensory experience, or social life
When It Helps
- A school, pediatrician, or therapist has raised questions about autism
- Social, sensory, or behavioral needs are affecting daily life
- Results are needed to guide therapy or school supports
Cognitive and Admissions Testing
Cognitive and admissions assessments measure intellectual abilities and are often used for private school admissions, gifted program entry, and placement.
Who It Is For
- Parents preparing a child for private school or gifted program applications
- Adults who need a cognitive evaluation for academic or professional reasons
When It Helps
- Before applying to a specialized educational program
- When eligibility for gifted and talented programs is a question
- When cognitive strengths need to be formally documented
