Children may be referred to CAPA Cincinnati for testing to assess their levels of intellectual or emotional functioning, identify areas of strengths and weaknesses, and understand their styles of learning and processing information. This testing is beneficial for diagnostic purposes, treatment planning, and providing care recommendations for home and school.
The evaluation process consists of three steps.
**Diagnostic Interview:** You and your provider will meet to discuss the concerns and reasons for testing that have led you to CAPA. This conversation will help the provider understand the specific testing needed to address your questions and concerns.
**Evaluation:** The extent of testing will depend on your child’s individual needs and will be discussed with you prior to the evaluation day. Typically, testing lasts about 2-3 hours, while neuropsychology testing conducted by psychologists in Cincinnati, OH, usually takes 4-6 hours.
**Feedback Session:** Our provider will meet with you to review the final report and explain all of the testing scores and findings. If applicable, you will be informed of any diagnoses and provided with recommendations and referrals as needed. This comprehensive approach ensures that families receive the support they need from experienced psychologists in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The steps are the same as other evaluations but is more comprehensive and has a different purpose. It focuses on how the brain is working rather than determining a mental health diagnosis. A Neuropsychologist is a psychologist with specialized training in brain development and anatomy, as well as neurologic conditions and their effects on brain functions. The evaluation can uncover problems in thinking and behavior or confirm suspected problems in a child who is struggling. It can also be used to monitor how the brain is healing after an injury, stroke, or other brain event. It is very useful for children and adolescents with a medical or neurologic history that involves the brain. Children without a medical diagnosis can also benefit from a Neuropsychological Evaluation when there are known or suspected cognitive problems.
