ASSESSMENT SERVICES
Ellis Therapeutic Consultants provides comprehensive assessments in all areas of learning and development. Whether the issue is a suspected developmental delay, or simply understanding how a child learns differently, we utilize both standardized and non-standardized assessment tools, taking into consideration key factors such as age, intellectual functioning, motor functioning, and developmental status. Our experts are skilled at using the most advanced standardized testing measures to assess cognitive, social, emotional, motor, and language skills.
We understand that one size does not fit all, and substitute play-based and other alternative testing measures when necessary. Each comprehensive evaluation includes a written overview of skills and challenges, with concise summaries and recommendations for school and home implementation.
At the request of the client, we will provide recommended goals and objectives to accompany the evaluation, to be used for treatment planning and IEP development.
Ellis Therapeutic Consultants provides the following assessments:
- Occupational Therapy Evaluation
- Speech and Language Evaluation
- Physical Therapy Evaluation
- Auditory Processing Evaluation
- Assistive Technology Evaluation
- Psychoeducational Assessment
- Comprehensive Psychological Assessment
- Educational Testing
We are available to provide in-person or conference call review of all evaluations, as well as goals and objectives.
