What is a comprehensive psychological evaluation?
RCBM is pleased to offer evaluations for Specific Learning Disorders. Specific Learning Disorders are impairments in Reading, Mathematics, and/or Writing (previously known as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, or Dysgraphia). RCBM works with patients, their families, and schools to support educational planning after evaluations. These evaluations begin with a thorough psycho-social history and review of educational data.

The evaluation includes the following:
- An assessment of intellectual/cognitive abilities (I.Q.), including an assessment of their verbal reasoning, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed skills
- A comprehensive assessment of academic skills, examining reading, writing, and/or math skills
Intellectual Disability Evaluation. An Intellectual Disability includes deficits in both intellectual and adaptive functioning. These evaluations begin with a thorough psycho-social history and review of educational data.
The evaluation includes the following:
- An assessment of intellectual/cognitive abilities (I.Q.), including an assessment of their verbal reasoning, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed skills
- A comprehensive assessment of academic skills, examining reading, writing, and/or math skills
- Adaptive Behavior rating scales
Guardianship Evaluation. Many times, individuals with disabilities require a need for parents or loved ones to request guardianship from the state to support their family members with ongoing assistance, daily living care, and help with financial and medical decision-making. At RCBM, we work with families to understand the legal consideration to evaluate individual’s abilities, academic skills, social/emotional functioning, and adaptive behavior as part of the guardianship application process. These evaluations begin with a thorough psycho-social history and review of educational data and pertinent medical records.
The evaluation can include the following:
- An assessment of intellectual/cognitive abilities (I.Q.), including an assessment of their verbal reasoning, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed skills
- A comprehensive assessment of academic skills, examining reading, writing, and/or math skills
- Adaptive Behavior and/or other behavioral rating scales
Accommodations/High Stakes Evaluations. RCBM also offers accommodation evaluations for high-stakes exams such as the SAT, ACT, LSAT, MCAT, and GRE. We provide the evaluation required by each testing agency to document symptoms and make appropriate diagnoses (or update previous testing/documentation) for accommodations. These accommodations can include extended time, extra breaks, small group testing, etc.
