Targeted Evaluations & Other Services
While most schools and parents choose come to Mindspring for comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations, we also offer targeted evaluations for specific needs.
Targeted Evaluations & Other Services
Psychoeducational Evaluation
This evaluation is typically selected as part of a re-evaluation to measure progress after receiving intervention. Core academic and intellectual testing are included. It is not recommended to help determine if a person has dyslexia, ADHD or why a child’s rate of progress is slower.
Psychological Evaluation & IQ Testing
Psychological evaluations include assessing the person’s thinking and reasoning abilities (IQ testing), as well as their social/emotional development with rating scales, clinical interview, and records review. IQ testing is also available as a standalone service, usually for reevaluation, second opinion testing, or to explore a child’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
Targeted Evaluations
Focused evaluations of a specific skill—such as math or attention/executive functioning—are typically offered for re-evaluations or when a student seeks a targeted second opinion after recent testing.
Parent Consultations
Parent consultations are a way for families to seek guidance about whether they should do an evaluation, gain a deeper understanding of previously completed evaluations, navigate their school district, or brainstorm ways to assist their child during their development.

This 15-minute call is designed to answer any questions and figure out whether neuropsychological testing is the right fit for your needs.

After the last evaluation session, we deliver a report that outlines our testing and provides a series of recommendations for how to best support the youth’s unique strengths and weaknesses.
