Psychological Testing
Here at FamilyFirst, we offer a variety of types of testing for all ages that are designed to help you gain a deeper understanding of what is getting in the way of your child reaching their full potential. Our testing is individualized, thorough, and detailed and our psychologists will work with you to determine which type of evaluation is most appropriate for your child. Once testing is complete, we provide an in-depth road-map as to how to best tap into your child’s strengths and help them succeed in a variety of environments. We will collaborate with you, as well as with any school, tutors, or other professionals, to help you use the test results to better understand and empower your child.
