The Testing Process

We know that starting an evaluation can feel overwhelming. Our process is designed to be clear, supportive, and collaborative so you know what to expect at every step.

Intake Session: (90 minutes, virtual)

Durin the intake, you spend time with Dr. Banda reviewing your concerns, your goals for the evaluation, and sharing relevant background information. Dr. Banda uses this information to develop an assessment that is individualized to meet your needs.

Testing Sessions: (1-2 days, 2-4 hours each)

Next, we schedule one or two mornings of testing, depending on age and goals. During these sessions:

You or your child will complete activities and tasks directly with Dr. Banda. Some feel like puzzles or games, while others look more like schoolwork

• Parents, teachers, and/or caregivers may complete questionnaires to provide additional perspectives.

• When helpful, Dr. Banda collaborates further with therapists, teachers, or other professionals to get a full picture of your child’s strengths and challenges.

We take breaks as needed and make sure your child feels comfortable and supported throughout.

Feedback Session: 1 hour, virtual)

Once testing is complete, you will meet with Dr. Banda to review results. She will:

  • Explain the findings in clear, understandable language.
  • Discuss any relevant diagnoses.
  • Provide personalized recommendations you can use right away at home, school, or in treatment.
  • Answer your questions and ensure you feel confident about next steps.

You will also receive a comprehensive written report that includes all assessment results, interpretation, and recommendations.

From start to finish, the process is designed to give you answers, clarity, and a plan you can trust.
