While we at Brainsight take a flexible approach to testing with the idea being that we will do what's necessary to find the answers to client's questions, we have three created three assessment levels that will be personalized to your needs. For many people the full evaluation, which takes the broadest approach is most useful. However, when academic issues are the primarily concern and there don't appear to be any mental health problems (like anxiety or depression) or attention issues, an academic assessment might be just right. Alternatively, when attention seems to be the crux of problem, an ADHD screening might be appropriate.

​

Dr. Bedford personally completes all assessments at Brainsight. You will work with him from start to finish. This is very important because good evaluations are not just about test results, they're about the integration of empirical data with qualitative observations to create a comprehensive picture of each individual's strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes how a person does a task is just as important as the test scores that result from his or her efforts. Dr. Bedford will skillfully integrate test data, observations, and information from interviews to formulate a personalized recommendation plan.
