Are You Looking for a Comprehensive Neuropsychological Assessment for Your Child or Teen?
Assessments at CBTeam
If you’ve been wondering what’s really going on with your child — with focus, learning, anxiety, mood, or developmental concerns — a comprehensive assessment can help make sense of the bigger picture.
At CBTeam, we provide comprehensive psychological assessments, ADHD evaluations, learning disorder evaluations, and diagnostic interviews to better understand how your child thinks, learns, and regulates emotions. When appropriate, we can also determine whether your child’s symptoms meet criteria for a formal diagnosis.
Is an Assessment Right for My Child?
A comprehensive assessment may be helpful if you are:
Wondering whether your child has ADHD, OCD, anxiety, a learning disorder, or another condition
Receiving conflicting opinions about what is causing your child’s challenges
Seeking diagnostic clarity before beginning or changing treatment
Looking for recommendations to support your child at school, home, or in the community
Considering accommodations such as an IEP or 504 Plan
Trying to better understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and support needs
An assessment can help move families from uncertainty and questions to a clearer understanding of what is happening and what steps to take next.
Types of Assessments We Offer
Psychological assessments are comprehensive evaluations that help clarify diagnoses, identify strengths and challenges, and guide recommendations for treatment, school support, and next steps.
These assessments can:
Clarify OCD, anxiety, mood disorders, and related conditions
Diagnose or rule out ADHD
Evaluate for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), including use of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) when clinically indicated
Identify learning disorders, including dyslexia
Support school accommodations (IEPs, 504 plans)
Provide documentation for prescribers
When appropriate, a formal diagnosis may be provided based on standardized testing, clinical interview data, and established diagnostic criteria. If symptoms do not meet full criteria for a diagnosis, we still provide clear clinical impressions and recommendations.
Psychological testing is especially helpful when symptoms overlap, when previous diagnoses do not fully explain a child’s difficulties, or when a more detailed evaluation is needed to guide treatment and support planning.
Please note: We do not assess for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) or cognitive decline (e.g., Alzheimer’s or dementia).
Diagnostic clinical interviewing is a structured evaluation used to identify patterns of symptoms and clarify a diagnosis.
This type of assessment typically includes:
If criteria are met, a diagnosis may be provided. If not, we offer diagnostic clarification and treatment recommendations based on your clinical presentation.
What You Receive
Our reports are detailed, strengths-based, and prepared by licensed clinicians with specialized assessment experience.
Your report typically includes:
A clear summary of presenting concerns
Areas of strength and challenge
Diagnostic impressions and, when appropriate, formal diagnoses
Personalized recommendations for school, work, or treatment
Our goal is not just to provide scores or labels, but to provide clarity, direction, and meaningful next steps.
What to Expect on Testing Day
Testing typically runs from 10:00 am–3:00 pm
Testing takes place in person at our Lexington, MA office
Breaks are built into the day to help children stay engaged and comfortable
We encourage bringing lunch, snacks and a water bottle
Testing can be split across multiple days, when clinically appropriate
Timeline
We offer rolling assessment appointments throughout the year, subject to availability. After testing is completed, feedback and a comprehensive written report are typically provided within 6-8 weeks.
When appropriate, reports may be used to support school accommodations such as IEPs and 504 Plans. If additional school forms or documentation are needed, please discuss these needs with your clinician during the assessment process.
