Understanding the Benefits of Formal Mental Health Assessments

Formal mental health assessments are powerful tools designed to help you better understand your strengths and challenges. With the support of trained therapists, these assessments can offer clarity and a well-defined path forward for improving your mental well-being. At Wholesome Psychology, our compassionate therapists conduct thorough assessments for individuals of all ages, aiming to empower you to make positive changes in your life. These assessments are especially beneficial in objectively measuring symptom levels, helping to guide treatment decisions and identify areas for further focus.

What is a Learning Disorder Assessment?

A learning disorder assessment is a specialized evaluation that focuses on specific challenges related to learning, such as:

  • Reading
  • Writing
  • Mathematics
  • Non-verbal communication

These tests are designed to identify and confirm learning difficulties, helping to determine the severity of the disorder. By offering precise insight into an individual’s unique learning needs, our assessments can also guide future support strategies.

Why is a Learning Disorder Assessment Important?

The results of a learning disorder assessment provide essential information that aids in diagnosing learning challenges. They also help individuals access support services, such as funding for disabilities within educational settings, and the provision of accommodations to ensure equitable learning opportunities. Whether for children or adults, understanding the nature of the disorder is the first step in mitigating its impact and promoting an inclusive learning environment.

Support Beyond the Assessment

In cases where additional diagnoses or support are needed, we work closely with a network of medical specialists who can provide the necessary care and recommendations. At Wholesome Psychology, we are committed to ensuring comprehensive support for all of your mental health needs, including collaborations with professionals outside our practice to facilitate the best possible outcomes.

How the Assessment Process Works

At Wholesome Psychology, we utilize a wide range of over 350 different psychological tests designed to identify specific disorders or issues. Some of the tests we use include:

  • Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)
  • Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS)
  • Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT)
  • Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (K-TEA)
  • Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC)
  • Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2)
  • Connors Scales, and more

We are dedicated to ensuring that all our assessments are up-to-date, using the latest versions of standardized tests to ensure accurate results. While some assessments are standardized, many others are customized to meet the unique needs of each individual. This personalized approach ensures we can thoroughly analyze and identify underlying issues with the greatest accuracy.
