Comprehensive Psychological Assessments and Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs)

Choosing a professional to evaluate your child is an important decision. At the Behavioral Pediatric Institute of Alabama, our assessment process is highly individualized to meet the unique needs of each child and family. Over the course of several sessions, we work to understand your primary concerns and evaluate your child’s behavioral, social-emotional, academic, and cognitive functioning.

Our comprehensive evaluations provide families and schools with a clear understanding of a child’s overall emotional and behavioral functioning, strengths, needs, and learning style.

Sample Evaluation Process

1.) Initial Meeting.  We begin by meeting with your family to understand your concerns about your child’s behavioral, emotional, and/or academic functioning. We also gather information about your child’s developmental history. Your insight as a caregiver is essential and forms a critical part of the evaluation process.

2.) Assessment. Your child is evaluated one-on-one using a range of developmentally appropriate assessments. Depending on your child’s needs, testing may assess:

Cognitive ability

Academic achievement

Adaptive skills

Behavioral needs

Attention and executive functioning

Learning and memory

Visuospatial skills

Language development

Social skills

3.) Comprehensive Written Report. After testing, we carefully score, analyze, and interpret all results. These findings are integrated with relevant background information, developmental history, and caregiver or service provider input to create a comprehensive report. The report includes individualized recommendations tailored specifically to your child’s strengths and needs.

4.) Feedback Session. Finally, we meet with your family in an interactive feedback session. During this meeting, we review the report, discuss your child’s strengths and areas for growth, and provide a clear road map of recommended supports and services to help your child succeed.

Our Goal

We aim to create a comprehensive report that highlights your child’s strengths and needs, addresses your concerns, and provides a clear, individualized plan to help your child succeed at home, at school, and in the community.
