We also know that we aren’t the right fit for everyone. Please see here for a list of the types of assessment that are typically not a great fit for the providers at CAPSS.

What to Expect from Testing

Diagnostic evaluations take place over several visits and typically include an interview with a parent/ caregiver or other close family member or support person, questionnaires, direct testing session(s), information from other sources as relevant (e.g., teachers), and a feedback session to discuss results and recommendations. You will also receive a written report summarizing test results and recommendations.

An overview of what to expect at IQ testing may be found here.

For child testing visits, parents may prepare for testing sessions by encouraging the child to get a good night’s sleep during the previous night, eating a balanced meal before testing, and taking any prescribed medications on the testing day.  You are welcome to bring snacks or drinks to have during breaks during the testing session, as well as a comfort item (e.g., stuffed animal) or another item of interest that your child would like to share with the examiner.
