Testing

What is "neuropsychological" testing?  This type of testing is aimed at targeting specific functions of the brain including memory, understanding/comprehending, motor functioning, percpeption, problem-solving and decision-making, and verbal ability.  This specialized assessment is appropriate for those who suffer from dementia (e.g. Alzheimer's), brain injuries (including loss of functioning due to a stroke or other medical conditions), and general cognitive decline associated with aging.  This type of testing usually involves 2-3 sessions of testing over a 2-3 hour period each time.  At Pacific Psychological Testing Solutions, you will receive a detailed report of your neurocognitive functioning and a detailed and individualized consultation session, explaining your results and giving you specific and actionable feedback to help you on your journey.  

Learning Disorders and Pycho-educational testing

Learning Disorders are often noticed in early school years, but can they can often go unrecognized until adolescence or even adulthood.  A Learning Disorder is a specific impairment in one's ability to learn specific academic skills (e.g. math, reading, writing), even though the person might have a high ability in other areas.  We can help individuals narrow down what academic skills are deficient and why.  

Psycho-educational testing is a specialized type of testing which involves cognitive testing, academic testing, and additional testing to identify the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language (spoken or written), which may manifest itself in an impaired ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or do mathematical calculations.  

Diagnostic Clarification

Psychological testing can offer clarification about psychological diagnoses and other aspects of behavior and personality.  This clarification can not only help the individual, but also other professionals who the individual may be working with (doctors, counselors, etc.).
