Booking Process: Psychometric Assessments
Psychometric assessments are a vital resource for gaining insights into cognitive abilities and addressing specific neurodevelopmental challenges like autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and learning difficulties. At Pitstop Health, this is conducted by a clinical psychologist.
​
Assessments are conducted through 4 main stages:
Intake
We begin by gathering essential information. This includes personal history, medical records, and any relevant background information. We typically involve parents or caregivers to provide valuable insights into behavior and challenges. This comprehensive intake helps us tailor the assessment to each individual's unique circumstances and ensures we focus on the most relevant aspects of their condition.
Assessment
The assessment phase is the heart of our process. Depending on the specific condition being evaluated, we utilize a range of standardized tests, interviews, and observations. Please see below for more details of each assessments conducted.
Scoring and Reporting
Following the assessment phase, our team meticulously scores and compiles the data gathered. Once the data is analyzed, we generate a detailed report that outlines the individual's strengths, challenges, and any diagnostic findings. This report serves as a valuable resource for individuals, parents, educators, and clinicians, providing a clear understanding of the assessment results and their implications.
Feedback
The final phase of our psychometric assessment process involves providing comprehensive feedback to the individual or their caregivers. During this feedback session, we discuss the assessment findings and recommendations for intervention and support. We emphasize collaboration and communication, ensuring that you are well-informed and empowered to make informed decisions about treatment, accommodations, and strategies for addressing potential challenges.
