How to choose a psychological testing practice

  1. Check the license with the state or provincial board that issued it; most boards publish a free online lookup.
  2. Make sure psychological, ADHD and learning evaluations is a regular part of their work, and ask what approach they use and why.
  3. Ask whether the report will meet the purpose you need it for (school accommodations, a testing agency or your physician).
  4. Ask about fees, insurance and the cancellation policy before the first session. In the US, if you are uninsured or paying yourself, you can ask for a good faith estimate of expected charges.
  5. Check practical fit: in-person or online sessions, evening times, and how soon they have an opening.
  6. After a few sessions, ask yourself whether you feel heard. Changing to a different provider is common and fine.
