Child Psychological Evaluation — Clear Diagnosis, Expert Report & Recommendations in Philadelphia, NJ & NYC

Child Psychological Evaluations

​

At Leonard Educational Evaluations, we provide comprehensive psychological testing for children ages 4 and up. Our evaluations assess emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and developmental functioning to clarify diagnoses, guide treatment, and support school-based accommodations.

If your child is experiencing intense emotions, outbursts, anxiety, attention issues, social difficulties, or school challenges, a psychological evaluation can uncover what’s really going on and provide a clear plan for support.

​

What Is a Child Psychological Evaluation?

​

A child psychological evaluation is a structured clinical assessment used to understand how a child thinks, feels, behaves, and learns. It helps identify the underlying causes of emotional or behavioral challenges and guides recommendations for next steps.

​

A child evaluation is commonly used to:

• Identify emotional or behavioral disorders

• Explore developmental or cognitive concerns

• Clarify school and social functioning needs

• Provide documentation for therapy, IEPs, 504 Plans, or medication management

• Rule out or confirm ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, or trauma

Our approach is warm, developmentally sensitive, and rooted in clinical precision.

​

What’s Included in a Child Psychological Assessment

​

Each evaluation is individualized and age-appropriate, using validated tools and a trauma-informed approach.

A full child psychological evaluation may include:

• Parent interview and developmental history

• Review of school records, medical history, and behavioral observations

• Emotional and behavioral rating scales

• Cognitive screening or testing

• ADHD rating scales & executive functioning measures

• Autism screening tools

• Personality and mood inventories (age dependent)

• Teacher or therapist input (with consent)

• A comprehensive written report with diagnoses (if applicable), clinical findings, and clear, actionable recommendations

We also provide a feedback session to help families understand the results and plan next steps.

​
