Psychological Testing & Evaluation
Meadowlark now offers Psychological Testing services for children and adults at our North Liberty and Iowa City office locations. Psychological Testing is used to identify potential mental health diagnoses, challenges, and other factors that may impact learning, development, focus, self-regulation and interpersonal skills.
Testing services include:
Identifying autism spectrum disorders
Assessing learning/intellectual disabilities
Diagnosing mood, attention, and anxiety disorders
Evaluating behavioral concerns
How Does Psychological Testing Work?
Meadowlark psychologists interview the individual and caregivers to get an understanding of their concerns. Using evidence-based professional assessment techniques, they will guide patients through a series of tasks, activities, and direct testing to assess cognitive and behavioral functioning.
Testing appointments can range from 3–6 hours in length.
Afterward, the psychologist analyzes the results, helps to put these results into appropriate context, and works with individuals and caregivers to explore any necessary treatment options, including therapy, skill building, school collaboration, and possible medication management referrals.
In addition, they will create a report of findings, which will include the psychologist’s expert conceptualization of the strengths and weaknesses found and the recommendations for future intervention.
