Dr. Conway’s assessments are tailored to meet the needs of individuals ranging from 2 years of age to adulthood.

In an effort to capture each individual’s optimal level of performance, testing takes place over the course of several days.

Neuropsychological Testing
Refers to in-depth assessment that enables an understanding of your child’s brain function and how it pertains to learning and behavior. Multiple areas are assessed such as learning differences, inattentiveness, hyperactivity, executive functioning, language disorders, autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, auditory and visual processing disorders, and visual-motor challenges. The evaluation results in recommendations for specific interventions and supports to address your child’s needs at home and at school.
Psycho-educational Testing
Refers to gaining an understanding of your child’s intellectual ability and academic skill level so that learning challenges and strengths can be identified. A battery of tests is used to provide a road map to how your child thinks, reasons, and processes information, resulting in recommendations to support your child in and outside of school.
Educational Accommodations Testing
Refers to assessment that determines if students with documented disabilities meet the eligibility criteria on College Board (SAT) and ACT exams for accommodations. A comprehensive test battery is administered to determine the disability and whether it results in a functional impairment of the student’s ability to participate in the exam. We collaborate with your child’s school to ensure that all of the necessary documentation is provided to the College Board and ACT. Accommodations Testing is also offered to students in elementary, middle, and high school to determine if they would benefit from accommodations and/or curriculum modifications.
Autism Testing (Autism Spectrum Disorder)
Is designed to assess for multiple domains of functioning and behavior. Dr. Conway is certified to administer the Autism Diagnostic and Observation Scales, Second Edition, (ADOS-2), a measure often required by Insurance Companies and Regional Centers to determine eligibility for ABA and other supportive services.
Psycho-diagnostic testing
Refers to assessing an individual’s emotions, personality style, and personal relationship issues. Such evaluations result in diagnostic clarification, treatment planning, career planning, and an understanding of why one might be experiencing challenges in a variety of aspects of life so that the individual can begin to make positive life changes.

Independent Education Evaluation (IEE)
Refers to an evaluation performed by a professional who is not affiliated with the child’s school. For example, if a parent does not agree with the services offered by their child’s school district, the need for an IEE may come into play. Often times the school district or a special education attorney recommend such an evaluation. The evaluation results in specific recommendations so that the student receives an appropriate education in the least restrictive environment.
Gifted Testing (IQ Tests for Kids)
Refers to IQ testing to determine if your child is eligible to make application to various gifted educational programs. Dr. Conway is one of the psychologists on the Testing Referral List for The Mirman School. The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scales of Intelligence Fourth Edition (WWPSI-IV) is administered to children under the age of 6-years-old and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children, Fifth Edition (WISC-V) is administered to children between the ages of 6 to 15. Parents will receive a comprehensive report. The cost of IQ testing is $600.00.
