"We find that many children and adults struggle academically and/or socially with their functioning at home, in school or at work, in part because their cognitive, social, and/or emotional needs have not been properly identified. I believe that, in order to truly help a client, we must begin by properly evaluating these needs," explains Dr. Joseph Volpe, Psychologist, who is the Coordinator of the Testing Center. "We regularly see individuals who have grappled for years with ADHD and/or learning disorders such as dyslexia, dysgraphia or dyscalculia, that have gone unnoticed. These conditions affect millions of children and adults, yet many people have never been properly diagnosed. When we use proper evaluative and empirically-derived testing measures to assess them, we are in the best position to address why major life activities have been so challenging. With this information, we can offer the best interventions to assist children and adults."
As part of the Testing Center's services, neuropsychological testing is provided. Neuropsychological testing is indicated when an individual suffers from dementia, encounters a traumatic brain injury, concussion, seizure, stroke or other brain-based injury.
In addition to assessing for clinical conditions, psychological evaluations for adults are routinely conducted for government agencies (e.g., police department) to assist in the hiring and employment process. Vocational and career assessment is available to help clients choose college majors and/or decide on a career. Psychological testing for bariatric surgery clearance is done in consultation with bariatric surgeons and medical professionals to ensure emotional readiness for this procedure. Finally, for those seeking testing accommodations such as extended time on standardized examinations (e.g., SAT, LSAT), the Testing Center will provide this testing and documentation.
All services at The Psychological & Educational Testing Center are provided by New York State licensed Psychologists with backgrounds in clinical, school, and developmental psychology as well as neuropsychology. While school systems and medical professionals may offer testing or diagnostic impressions, the evaluations conducted at the Testing Center are detailed, comprehensive and provide a more accurate account of the individual's functioning on several levels, which results in better treatment planning.
