assessment
Our assessment team at Cirrus Psychology is passionate about providing high-quality assessments with a wholistic and functional approach.
We work collaboratively with the referring party to ensure that our assessments address and fully illuminate the core issues and present concerns of each individual.
We are committed to the full assessment process. So after the initial intake, presenting issues are highlighted, and then valid and reliable measures will be used. The goal in this stage of the assessment is to attempt to illuminate underlying core patterns.
The final step involves working with the referring party and individual to create functional steps towards capacity building and adaptation towards wholistic wellbeing.

Psychological assessment is the process of using various sources of data, also including standardized testing, to help the individual understand themselves better, determine relevant diagnostic information, and form specific recommendations based on the information gathered. While understanding what educational experiences are/were like for a person, this has a broader focus beyond academics and learning. This form of assessment includes examining whether an individual meets the diagnostic criteria for a disorder in the DSM-5, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety or mood related disorders, and so forth.
Psychoeducational assessment is the process of using various sources of data, including standardized testing, to develop a better understanding of an individual’s academic and learning needs. Differentiated from psychological assessment due to the focus on academics and education. The scope of diagnosis is generally limited to disorders that specifically impact learning, such as Specific Learning Disabilities and/or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
*In all forms of assessment, the aim is to help create personalized recommendations for the individual (and their school, family, treatment team, etc) that help the individual reach their specific goals.
