WE CAN HELP!

IPTAR offers reduced-fee psychoeducational and neuropsychological testing for individuals ages 6 through adult. These evaluations of intelligence, cognitive functioning, personality, academic functioning, and executive functioning can help clarify learning and psychological concerns, and provide recommendations to help support academic, occupational, and emotional functioning at school, work, and home.

Assessments are done by Clinical Psychology Interns and Externs, on site at IPTAR’s Clinical Center on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. These advanced Doctoral Candidates are supervised by Senior Psychologists who are experts with decades of experience conducting and supervising testing.

Before any assessment, individuals (or a child’s parents) come for a consultation to fully explore the issues to be examined and confirm that testing at IPTAR is appropriate. If the testing proceeds, the non-refundable $150 consultation fee will be put toward the $2700 final cost for a complete evaluation. This is significantly less than private testing costs, which can run $6000 to $8000 or more. If IPTAR cannot meet your needs, we can assist with finding an appropriate referral.

A complete assessment takes roughly 8-12 hours, depending on the person’s age and the referral question, and is scheduled over the course of at least 3-4 sessions. We do our best to accommodate schedules, but some sessions may need to take place during the day.

A detailed report will be ready within 3 months after the last testing session, at which time a feedback session will be scheduled. In addition to scores that show where an individual functions relative to others their age and/or grade level, the report will make specific, individualized recommendations.
