Our evaluations identify whether learning, attention, or emotional factors are contributing to current difficulties, and guide next steps such as IEP or 504 plan recommendations, home recommendations, or individualized therapy goals. Testing can be especially helpful when the cause of challenges is unclear and you’re looking for accurate answers and targeted evidence-based recommendations.
At Coast Psychology, our goal is to help you better understand yourself or your child and access the right supports to thrive. Our Licensed Psychologists provide comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations for learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, and behavioral/emotional concerns. For complex neurological cases (TBI, dementia, epilepsy), we provide referrals to board-certified neuropsychologists.

Most participants find testing tasks quite fun! These tasks are interactive, computer-based, and arranged in an order designed to be engaging. Each appointment lasts between 2-3 hours with plenty of opportunities for breaks. Testing sessions may be scheduled concurrently (pending availability and client age) for the same day with a one-hour lunch break. Parents typically remain in the waiting room adjacent to our office throughout the duration of each testing appointment. Clients should aim to get a good night’s sleep and a balanced meal before each session. At Coast Psychology, we move at your pace to ensure each testing session feels comfortable.

Maybe. Maybe not. There is no way to know if any accommodations would be appropriate prior to testing. A comprehensive evaluation will clearly delineate a unique set of strengths and weaknesses cognitively, academically, and social-emotionally. If testing reveals a demonstrated need, our reports contain detailed accommodation recommendations. In short, it depends.
