Chicago Psychological Testing and Neuropsychological Services

Testing and Neuropsychological Services
for Children and Adolescents in Chicago

Our staff of professionals, under the direction of Sandra Kasprzyk, Psy.D., provide an environment for psychological testing in the Chicago area, that is comfortable for both you and your child.

In the initial visit with the psychologist, the parent’s and the child’s questions and concerns are explored, and the testing process is explained. After a thorough history is taken, a determination is made about whether testing is the most appropriate option for your child, given his or her particular circumstances and the nature of the parent’s, teacher’s, or referring professional’s concerns.

Psychological testing can be stressful, confusing, or uncomfortable for children and their parents. There are so many questions. Should I have my child tested? What kinds of tests will be administered? Who will see the results and how will that affect my child? These and any other questions will be answered during this initial visit.

A Comprehensive Psychological Assessment Includes

* An initial session with the psychologist to discuss concerns, obtain history, schedule the testing, and familiarize the child and family with the facilities and personnel.
* A return visit for administration of tests. The amount of time involved will vary depending on the age of the child, the nature of the concerns, and the extent of testing required.
* A follow-up session with parents and child (as appropriate) to explain test results and provide specific recommendations in response to the test findings.
* Consultations with the school or referring professional when appropriate. This may include participation in Individual Educational Plan meetings to interpret test findings and discuss implementation of curricular modification and/or accommodations.
