Admissions TestingIn Arlington, Virginia
If your child is applying to an independent school, gifted program, or advanced academic track, you may be asked to include results from a cognitive assessment as part of the application process. In other cases, testing isn’t required, but a recent evaluation can offer meaningful insight into your child’s abilities and learning style.
What the evaluation includes
I provide cognitive assessments for admissions and appeals that are:
Thorough and aligned with local school requirements
Child-friendly
Respectful of each child’s strengths, individuality, and developmental stage
What to expect
Whether your child is confident about testing or feeling a little unsure, I aim to make the process as supportive and low-stress as possible. Assessments typically include standardized measures of intellectual ability (such as the WPPSI-IV, WISC-V, or WAIS-IV, depending on age) and result in a detailed, parent-friendly written report.
What you’ll receive
The report is designed not just to meet application requirements, but also to provide a clear, nuanced picture of how your child thinks, solves problems, and approaches learning. Many parents find that, beyond admissions, this information helps them better understand and support their child’s growth over time.
