Ashburn Psychological and Psychiatric Services Developmental Testing

Staff, APPS2018-11-20T03:03:46+00:00

Developmental testing examines and analyzes what an infant or toddler can and cannot do using a standardized set of questions, procedures and methods. The results of these inquiries can be quantified. This information helps parents and clinicians understand how a child compares to a population of children who are developing normally and points to developmental domains that need intervention. As children develop, some may demonstrate social, communication and problem solving skills at a slower or inconsistent rate, which in turn, impedes their development. Developmental testing will serve to identify if a child is experiencing within normal range weaknesses or more pervasive [...]

Summer Neuropsychological Testing at Ashburn Psychological Services

Staff, APPS2013-07-01T19:22:33+00:00

Summer is an excellent time to have your child or adolescent assessed given that the school year is over and demands and stress are low. Neuropsychological testing will help to identify learning, processing or emotional weaknesses or conditions that could compromise academic performance and functioning. Many parents we have worked with have found it very helpful to have a neuropsychological report and a road-map, so to speak, in place before the start of the school year. Avoid losing time or having problems worsen by testing over the Summer. Neuropsychological testing is a comprehensive procedure that measures and identifies the interaction between [...]
