Evaluations, including cognitive scores, are for the purpose of educational evaluation. My assessment training and experience are from a school psychologist's perspective. Although I have some exposure to clinical psychological assessments, this is not an area of expertise for me. If you are seeking assessments with clinical mental health concerns, please contact a clinical psychologist.
