Psychological Testing: Better Outcomes Begin at Meadowlark
Educational institutions and healthcare providers play a crucial role in the early identification of potential mental health conditions, intellectual disabilities, or behavioral concerns. But an intervention plan is only effective if it’s built around an accurate diagnosis. That’s where Meadowlark comes in.

Collaborative care. Meadowlark psychologists collaborate with physicians, schools, and new and existing mental health providers to ensure continuity of care. We can also provide treatment solutions such as talk therapy and medication management.
In-depth, individualized results. Our team creates a report of findings, outlining each person’s unique challenges, strengths, and needs—including recommended interventions, accommodations, or treatments.
The Psychological Testing & Evaluation Process
At Meadowlark, the psychological testing process can range from 3-6 hours and begins with an in-depth interview with a psychologist. The goal is to share concerns and discuss goals.
Then, using evidence-based assessment techniques, our psychologists guide the individual through a series of tasks, activities, and direct testing to evaluate cognitive and behavioral functioning.
Afterward, the psychologist analyzes the results and collaborates with individuals and their caregivers or guardians to explore potential treatment options. These include therapy, skill-building, school accommodations, or medication management.
From there, our team will help coordinate continuing care by making referrals, communicating with schools, and collaborating with other providers.
