Testing .:. Frugé Psychological Associates, Inc.

Testing

Testing services involve adults or children undergoing an extensive interview, which is subsequently followed by a series of tests administered to the individual or designated family members. Interviews cover information ranging from developmental history to environmental factors that may be causing the problem. Additionally, other persons such as teachers, psychotherapists, physicians, employers, etc., may need to be interviewed in order to achieve a complete understanding of the problem. All tests used by FPA have been researched for appropriateness, and are interpreted in a culturally sensitive context.

With this being said, an FPA representative will work with you to develop a testing referral question that encompasses the scope of your concerns.
