Sari has been completing Psychological Assessments since 2009 to assist with correct diagnosis and treatment focus thereafter. Oftentimes, it makes it easier to know how to handle the difficulties you face when you truly understand the underlying issues.
Sari completes Psychological Assessment for as young as 2 years to adults in a multitude or areas including Autism, ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Depressive Disorders, Learning Disorders, Personality Disorders, etc. They are meant to assist with diagnosis, recommendations to address the conditions in question, look at individual strengths, make recommendations for home, school, work, and/ or college settings, and fulfill the evaluation requirements for ABA therapy.
Typically the evaluations consist of the consultation meeting during which when the process of the evaluation is discussed, areas of evaluation are decided, and the in person testing is scheduled. Often other components that are needed are parent and/ or client interview, collecting information from other sources (e.g. teachers, therapists, etc.), as well as scoring of the forms, interpreting the information, and writing the report. After all components are completed, a feedback meeting will take place to go over the evaluation results.
You will receive a comprehensive evaluation report including the diagnosis and appropriate recommendations when the evaluation is completed that you can share with your doctor, psychiatrists, pediatrician, school, college, work, etc. Currently, these evaluations are completed from the initial consultation to the feedback session in about 3 to 4 weeks depending on the depth and length of the evaluation.
If you are not using insurance, the out-of-pocket-costs depends on the referral reason and the depth of the evaluation, and a Good Fate Estimate is given if no insurance is used. Insurance is filed for in-network benefits for the panels that Sari currently accepts (see FAQ) but to know your benefits, please contact your insurance company customer service number on the back of your card.
