How long does it take?
The process usually takes 6–8 hours of testing over one or two sessions, plus time for scoring, interpretation, and report writing.
Can the results be used for school or university accommodations?
Yes. Our reports meet the documentation requirements for Individual Education Plans (IEPs) in schools and academic accommodations at colleges and universities.
Do you offer virtual assessments?
Some portions can be conducted virtually, depending on the type of testing. Our team will let you know what can be done online and what requires in-person evaluation.
