Individual Assessment
We offer individually administered cognitive assessments, typically for the purposes of advanced placement or private school admissions. The test we usually offer is Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V). Our staff will help you to identify the appropriate test for your needs.
The fee is $425 and we do provide a waiver for those who qualify for Free/Reduced Lunch or Medicaid.
Our examiners are mostly graduate students who are supervised by licensed psychologists.
We schedule this year round. Our busiest time of the year is April-May, so we encourage you to schedule testing other times of the year if at all possible.
What to expect:
We schedule these appointments over the phone. Please call and leave a voicemail if you do not reach us. We will return your call within two business days.
Once the appointment is scheduled with our office, you will receive a detailed confirmation email from us with payment link ($425, unless your child qualifies for a waiver and location and parking information. You will also be asked to complete forms in our portal prior to testing.
Your examiner will reach out to you via email within a few days of your testing appointment to coordinate a short parent intake interview. This will be held via Zoom or in person day of testing at the examiner’s discretion.
Testing takes about 2-3 hours,and varies depending on a variety of factors.
Following testing, results are scored and reviewed by our office. A report is generated, then reviewed and signed by a licensed psychologist. A virtual feedback session is held with the parent/caregiver, then the report is sent to the parent/caregiver electronically in a secure way.
If you have a specific question that cannot be answered on our website, you may email us: cap@gmu.edu. Thank you for your patience!
