Worried your child is not reaching developmental or educational benchmarks? Did a teacher encourage you to consider testing for behavior concerns? The Arkansas Families First team is here to help. In our Conway office, we provide a range of testing services to empower kids, teens, and families to thrive.
Types of Evaluation & Testing Services
We offer evaluation and testing at all three of the levels outlined above for a range of specific development, psychological, educational, and behavioral health needs. The goal of formal assessment with one of our team members is always to empower parents and kids to maximize their strengths to overcome struggles. We tailor our evaluations to your family’s needs, and we often receive referrals to assess learning disorders, developmental delays, emotional and behavioral disorders, neurological injuries, and many more. Specifically, we offer:
Psychological testing and evaluation of children includes assessment of a broad range of cognitive, developmental, behavioral and emotional characteristics in order to identify treatment needs and make diagnostic decisions. Psychological tests are intended to assist school personnel and treatment providers (Primary Care Physicians, Pediatricians, Counselors, and others) by providing diagnostic accuracy and a detailed, objective look at the child’s strengths, as well as needs. They are particularly helpful when complicated or rare problems and symptoms are present. Individualized recommendations for treatment and accommodations are provided.
Arkansas Families First now offers parenting capacity evaluations, custody evaluations, and a range of other forensic evaluations to assist families with court involvement.
