It is often beneficial (but not always required) to include 1-2 teachers that know you well in order for Dr. Jen to gain their perspective, which is often done via electronic questionnaires. Additionally, please provide Dr. Jen with any prior evaluation reports, Individualized Education Plans, or any other records that you believe are important as part of the assessment.

Testing sessions can range in terms of length of each session and number of sessions. Most often, Dr. Jen will offer two testing sessions that can last from 3-4 hours. Certain tests are best administered in the morning, otherwise timing is flexible. Dr. Jen offers weekend appointments for testing as well.

Please bring: water/hydration, snacks and/or a lunch, and glasses, contacts, and/or hearing aids (if worn) to ensure visual or auditory differences do not impact testing.

For kids/teens: please also bring activities and things to do for both your child and yourself. Dr. Jen will typically meet with parents for 1-2 hours for the initial interview, then spend the rest of the time with your child/teen.

Testing sessions will include performance tests (examples include computer-based testing, visual puzzles or activities, verbal knowledge, social interaction and understanding, speed and memory assessments), behavioral assessments and observations, and interview questions. Measures are selected based on your testing questions and package. Dr. Jen will also screen for other concerns that may be important to explore.

Dr. Jen will inform you if any additional testing is recommended based on screenings for other concerns.

Dr. Jen will compile and interpret your testing results and meet with you for a 1-2 hour session to review the results, diagnosis, and recommendations going forward. At the feedback session, Dr. Jen will provide a comprehensive written report detailing all of this information for you to keep and share with whoever you wish (sometimes this includes individual therapists, schools, or family members).

For adults: Dr. Jen will offer an individual feedback session, but you are welcome to involve loved ones/support people in this session if you wish. Dr. Jen can also meet with you initially and invite your loved one into the latter portion of the session. Let Dr. Jen know your needs and requests.

For kids/teens:Dr. Jen will present a fun powerpoint with kid-friendly information for kids and younger teens. This powerpoint usually includes your child’s strengths, ways of thinking/learning, areas in need of support, and recommendations.
