A comprehensive evaluation can help clarify why a child, teen or adult is struggling and identify practical next steps. FPG provides psychological and psychoeducational assessment for questions involving attention, learning, executive functioning, cognitive strengths and weaknesses, emotional or behavioral concerns, and other diagnostic questions within the evaluator’s scope.

Common referral questions

  • ADHD and attention difficulties

  • Executive functioning, processing speed, memory and organization

  • Learning disabilities and academic achievement

  • Emotional and behavioral concerns

  • Cognitive strengths and weaknesses

  • Developmental or autism-related questions when within the evaluator’s scope

  • Personality and diagnostic clarification

  • Neuropsychological questions when appropriate to the evaluator and referral

An evaluation built around your questions

  1. Initial consultation. We review your concerns and the questions you want the evaluation to answer.

  2. Individualized assessment plan. A clinical interview guides selection of tests tailored to the referral question.

  3. Testing and context. Testing may be combined with rating scales, records and information from parents, teachers, physicians or other professionals. Because one testing session cannot always show a person’s full abilities, evaluations may be completed across several sessions, with shorter appointments when needed to obtain a more accurate picture.

  4. Written findings. An integrated report explains results and individualized recommendations.

  5. Feedback and next steps. A feedback meeting explains the findings in clear language and connects them to practical options. Reports are written for the people who will use them and include specific recommendations for treatment, school, accommodations, medication planning or other supports.

    Support does not have to end with the report. When useful, evaluators may clarify results, consult with treating professionals, help families connect with educational or medical resources, or participate in school planning and IEP meetings.

ADHD and diagnostic clarification

Attention, organization, impulse control and emotional regulation difficulties can have several explanations. An evaluation considers the whole person and whether concerns may relate to ADHD, learning differences, anxiety, mood, sleep, stress or other factors. Recommendations connect findings to everyday functioning at home, school or work.

Common questions

Will we receive recommendations?
