Mood Disorders, PTSD, and Intellectual Disability Assessments

Dr. King provides comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational evaluations to identify learning, behavioral, and emotional challenges in children as well as clear and actionable recommendations for support.

Dr. King is trained in several other types of evaluations, including the assessment of:

  • Intellectual Disabilities

  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

  • Mood Disorders

  • Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Psychoeducational evaluations can also be provided to assist with determining the factors that could be impacting a child’s academic performance and educational progress.

Dr. Seth King conducts testing to discern if the educational difficulties derive from a learning disability or from other challenges such as an emotional disturbance. Dr. King is competent in gaining rapport with children in order to elicit sufficient motivation and performance during evaluations.

A psychoeducational evaluation typically includes the administration of an intelligence test (i.e., the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children) and an achievement test (i.e., the Woodcock-Johnson).

The analysis of discrepancies in subtest and index scores allows Dr. King to pinpoint a child’s strengths and weaknesses.

Recommendations are clearly defined for parents and educators to assist children in achieving their full potential by providing a specific roadmap to educational success.

If your child is struggling in school, having trouble focusing, or you're noticing emotional ups and downs that seem to get in the way of learning, an evaluation with Dr. King can provide the clarity you’ve been searching for.

An assessment will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface and will provide you with clear next steps to support your child’s growth, confidence, and success.
