The Hidden Value of Psychological Assessment

Seeking a psychological assessment for you or your loved one can feel overwhelming, but it is an invaluable step toward understanding unique needs and securing the proper support. At RPS, all assessments are conducted by a licensed psychologist, ensuring that insurance providers will recognize any diagnosis made should you choose to seek further coverage for therapy services such as applied behavior analysis therapy (ABA), speech therapy (ST), physical therapy (PT), or occupational therapy (OT).

A comprehensive assessment provides standardized data on the individual's current functioning, offering insights into their strengths and areas for growth. However, RPS does not focus solely on diagnoses. Instead, we emphasize how the gathered data can guide the client toward meaningful support and intervention. We aim to provide a path forward, equipping you with the tools to help each client thrive.

After the assessment, you will receive individualized recommendations tailored to your needs. These recommendations span home, school, social settings, and personal development, ensuring a well-rounded approach to support. Additionally, we will connect you with national and local quality resources to further assist in your child’s growth.

For many individuals, an assessment can also provide a sense of validation, helping to confirm lingering concerns and offering clarity on the next steps. Whether the results lead to a diagnosis or provide guidance for fostering the client's development, the knowledge gained from a psychological assessment is a powerful tool for advocating for their success. Understanding is the first step toward meaningful progress, and we are here to help you navigate the journey.
