Psychological Testing
Accommodations Documentation for School, Standardized Tests, and Work
If ADHD, a learning disability, autism, anxiety, or a concussion makes timed tests or certain work tasks harder, you may be able to ask for accommodations like extended time. Schools, testing agencies, and employers usually want current, thorough documentation from a qualified professional. We do the evaluation and write that documentation.
Who it's for
- Students who need support in school, such as an IEP or 504 plan
- High school students applying for SAT or ACT accommodations
- Graduate and professional students preparing for the LSAT, MCAT, or bar exam
- Adults asking for accommodations at work
What we test
It depends on the reason for the request. We often look at attention, executive functioning, memory, processing, and academic skills like reading, writing, and math, plus emotional health.
How it works and how long it takes
We start with a consultation about your history, the accommodations you're asking for, and the requirements of the school, testing agency, or employer. We'll let you know what records to bring. Testing happens at our Great Neck office, and we'll explain how many sessions to expect and help you find times that work. Each testing agency has its own rules and deadlines, so check them early and get in touch well before you need to apply.
Your report
You'll get a detailed written report, and we'll tell you the expected timeline for it at the consultation. It describes what we found and makes specific recommendations. We'll go over it with you and explain how to use it in your request. The final decision belongs to the school, testing agency, or employer, so we can't promise any particular accommodation will be approved.
Who does the testing
All assessments are conducted by licensed clinical psychologists. Our testing psychologists are also therapists, so the recommendations are practical as well as thorough.
Cost, insurance, and superbills
Cognitive Behavioral Associates is an out-of-network provider. We don't take insurance directly. We'll go over fees during your free phone consultation. After you pay, we give you a paid statement (often called a superbill) to submit to your insurance company. Reimbursement depends on your plan, so ask about out-of-network benefits for psychological testing. You can also check your benefits with Reimbursify.
