A focused, straightforward assessment. Here's what's included and what isn't.
Questions about your report? Email us. Want to go over it live? Book a separate consultation (separate fee). Have a specific question, like ADHD or dyslexia? Ask about our in-depth evaluations.
Quick answers about cognitive assessments, IQ testing, and how we work.
A cognitive assessment is a set of standardized tasks that measure how you think: verbal comprehension, reasoning, working memory, visual-spatial processing, and processing speed. You get a profile of your strengths and growth areas, not a pass/fail score.
An IQ test measures several thinking skills, including verbal comprehension, reasoning, working memory, visual-spatial processing, and processing speed. We look at your overall pattern, not just one number.
Yes. We assess adults of any age, as well as students from 3rd grade up. Many adults use it to learn how they work and learn best.
A cognitive assessment shows how your brain takes in, stores, and uses information. Your report turns that into practical tools for school, work, and daily life.
It's a plain-language summary of your cognitive strengths and the areas that take more effort, with expert recommendations for each.
No. This is a cognitive functioning assessment, not a diagnostic evaluation. If you have a specific question, like ADHD or dyslexia, ask us about a separate, more in-depth evaluation.
Research comparing remote and in-person administration of widely used tests, such as the WISC-V, has found comparable results. We follow the test publisher's guidance for remote testing, and every session is live with a licensed evaluator.
Yes. You must live in California and be physically in California during testing. Outside California? Our Regulate to Focus course is available anywhere.
Your thinking and learning profile, explained in plain language, plus expert recommendations to build on your strengths and support any weaker areas. It arrives within one week of your session.
No. The report is written to be easy to understand on its own. If you have questions, email us. To go over it live, you can book a separate consultation for an additional fee.
School, IEP, and 504 meetings aren't included. Contact us if you'd like to ask about this as a separate service.
Students from 3rd grade through adults.
Get a good night's sleep and eat beforehand. Use a laptop or desktop with stable internet in a quiet room, and have your glasses or hearing aids if you use them. No studying needed.
Usually not, because it's an educational assessment rather than a medical one. Some HSA or FSA plans may apply, so check with your plan administrator.
One session. One clear report. Strategies you can use right away.
