An IQ Assessment may be required for admission to a private school, identification of giftedness, or to qualify for a specialized public school program. We use the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-Fourth Edition (WPPSI-IV) or the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fifth Edition (WISC-V) for IQ assessments, depending on the child’s age. The administration time is typically 60-90 minutes.

Most children enjoy the 1:1 testing which uses kid friendly materials. Children often remark to their parents that they found the testing to be fun. Upon completion of testing, you will be provided with a written report of the results. Results include a detailed report of your child's results.
