DEVELOPMENTAL ASSESSMENTS
Diagnostic Clarification
Developmental assessments are typically performed when a child or young adult is struggling academically or socially. Assessments involve testing of various cognitive abilities, which allows the psychologist to acquire information about a patient’s functioning in the realms of intellectual, motor, memory, behavior, language, and executive functioning. This data, combined with an individual's personal history, can help provide a diagnosis and specific recommendations for treatment. Dr. Buick has completed thousands of hours of psychological testing with pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations. Common referrals are for autism, intellectual disabilities, giftedness, learning problems, and ADHD.
PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT
Evaluation & Treatment
Personality assessments typically involve testing an individual for mood, trauma-stressor, anxiety, and personality disorders. These evaluations help provide clients and their treatment providers with valuable information about diagnostic clarification in order to guide them toward the best course of treatment. Dr. Buick uses a comprehensive approach to these evaluations in order to ensure all potential possibilities are addressed.
