Psychological evaluations are often a key piece of determining accurate psychological diagnoses. Accuracy in diagnosis assists with appropriate treatment planning, academic planning, and can assist physicians with selecting appropriate medications for their patients. Psychological evaluations are also used to develop recommendations regarding fitness to return to duty and to assess treatment progress. At Crain Psychological Specialists, we offer psychological evaluations for children (beginning at age 7) through adulthood. We use the most empirically validated tests available to provide highly accurate diagnoses and well-informed recommendations.
