Assessment Services
Services vary by semester and are based on student clinician availability, training needs, available supervisors, and community demand. The PACC also functions on a ‘part-time’ basis, so service appointments are limited.
Assessment Services – Children and Adolescents
At the PACC, assessment services involve administering psychological measures to address specific referral questions related to emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and/or academic functioning. Our masters- and doctoral-level student clinicians conduct intake interviews and schedule several 2-4 hours block appointments over a 3-5 week period to complete the assessment process. Following the assessment, clients participate in comprehensive feedback sessions where results are explained, along with recommendations and professional opinions on any diagnostic considerations. For child/adolescents, we serve clients from ages 5 to 18.
Issues we address for children/adolescents:
- ADHD
- Anxiety
- Autism
- Behavioral issues
- Learning disabilities
- School issues
