Testing is administered by Ron Mercer, PhD, LMHC, BCFE and Patricia Joyce, PhD,
Neuropsychologist.
The
Primary Objective for testing is to enable the clinician, parent, school or patient
to gain a complete understanding of the emotional/ personality/ behavioral and
neurological/cognitive factors which comprise an individual's total affective/reactive
field. This enhances the goal of clinical treatment and academic placement.
Testing
is available for children over the age of seven, adolescents and adults who display
signs/symptoms of affective disorders, i.e.; depression, anxiety, panic anxiety,
etc; cognitive learning processing disorders; ADD/ADHD, mild autism, Asperger's
Syndrome, any pervasive developmental/spectrum symptom/behavior cluster formation,
intelligence testing or gifted testing. We also provide psychological testing
ordered by family/domestic or criminal courts of law. Both clinicians are available
to consult at schools or provide expert witness testimony in court.
We
offer a Full Psychological Battery which includes, but is not limited to, intelligence
tests, cognitive tests, ADD testing and psychological testing, as well as a Partial
Psychological Battery depending on the objective for testing. Whether the testing
is administered for educational/cognitive purposes or for psychological assessment
one of our trained clinicians is available.
