There are several ways testing can benefit a client. The results allow for accommodations at school, work or during standardized testing such as taking the BAR exam or the SAT’s. These accommodations are legally protected by law and the testing provides the evidence necessary to be granted accommodations. The testing can allow for standardized testing accommodations such as extra time, taking exams in a distraction free environment, having exam questions read to the examinee and/or extra breaks during standardized testing. Work or school accommodations may include receiving assignments/work duties in writing and verbally, working in less distracting environments, affording flexibility with deadlines and limiting work load during flare up periods.
Testing is the perfect solution. Client’s have complex concerns and problems which require an in-depth analysis to determine specifically what is impacting the client and then we can formulate treatment options and supports. Maybe you are struggling with attention and focus but you are unsure if it is because you have ADHD, a brain injury or you are under stress. Symptoms can originate from several different conditions, testing would help you understand what is causing the troubling symptoms and better address how to limit their negative impact. ADHD is commonly misunderstood by most and difficulties with attention and concentration may often arise from other conditions such as anxiety, PTSD and/or depression. Clarity of the source of the symptoms will allow for impactful treatment.
Testing allows for precise answers and diagnostic clarification. This can be a huge relief once you know what is happening then you can focus your efforts into relieving symptoms of distress. Maybe you have struggled with symptoms since childhood but your parents were not able to or were resistant to getting a proper diagnosis. Testing would allow for a professional diagnosis and making appropriate changes in your life so you can receive proper treatment
