CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY AND TESTING
ABOUT PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING:
Boca Developmental Therapy Center is proud to offer clinical psychology and testing services designed to help you identify and understand your child's cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral development. Our licensed and experienced clinical psychologist utilizes the most current testing methods and tools for children and young adults facing various behavioral and developmental challenges. If your child is struggling, clinical testing can identify potential delays, diagnose, and inform treatment strategies to support your child's development.
​
Our psychologist will meet with you to discuss your concerns, answer any questions, and explain the evaluation process. Additionally, we review your child's developmental history and academic and medical records to fully understand your concerns and ensure a thorough and accurate evaluation. We also take time to connect with your child's teachers and other providers to ensure a multidisciplinary approach to their care. At Boca Developmental Therapy Center, we are committed to providing personalized care and support throughout the evaluation process and will communicate with you at every step.
Psychological testing can help diagnose conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), among others. It can also be used to assess an individual's cognitive abilities, such as memory, problem-solving skills, and intellectual functioning. If you suspect your child has a developmental delay or disorder, is displaying problematic behavior at home or school, and/or you have other concerns about your child, contact us to determine if your child may benefit from a psychological evaluation. ​
