Psychological Testing & Assessment in Minneapolis, MN
Psychological testing and assessment at our Minneapolis practice starts with a licensed psychologist administering standardized tests and clinical interviews. Results are scored, interpreted, and compiled into a written report. That report explains what was found and what it means for your treatment, school plan, or workplace accommodations.
This service is right for patients — or parents of patients — who know something is off but do not have a diagnosis yet. It is also for anyone referred by a doctor, therapist, or school who needs formal testing before next steps can happen. Psychological assessments are requested regularly across Minneapolis, from school districts in North Minneapolis to employer accommodation processes Downtown. If you are not sure which specific evaluation you need, this is the right place to start.
ADHD Testing in Minneapolis, MN
ADHD testing at Cabot Psychological Services goes beyond a checklist. A licensed psychologist uses cognitive and behavioral assessments to measure attention, working memory, and impulse control. The final report supports medication decisions, school plans, and workplace accommodation requests.
This evaluation is right for children, teens, and adults who suspect ADHD but have no formal diagnosis. It also serves parents preparing for an IEP meeting and adults who were never evaluated as kids and are now struggling at work or in relationships. ADHD evaluations are among the most requested psychological services in Minneapolis — especially for adults in the Uptown and Lyn-Lake areas seeking a diagnosis for the first time. Call (952) 209-0526 to ask about scheduling.
Neuropsychological Evaluation in Minneapolis, MN
A neuropsychological evaluation measures memory, processing speed, executive function, language, and attention across a full battery of standardized tests. The results clarify how the brain is functioning — and where it is not. The written report is used by medical teams, schools, and legal proceedings.
This evaluation is designed for patients with complex diagnostic questions — those with brain injuries, seizure disorders, cognitive decline, or multiple overlapping conditions. It is also for patients referred by neurologists or primary care physicians who need a detailed cognitive profile before treatment decisions are made. Neuropsychological testing in Minneapolis is frequently requested through hospital referral networks connected to clinics in the Midtown and University District areas. We accept physician referrals directly.
Autism Spectrum Evaluation in Minneapolis, MN
An autism spectrum evaluation at our Minneapolis practice uses standardized diagnostic tools designed for this purpose. The psychologist observes behavior, reviews developmental history, and interviews caregivers or the patient directly. A written report confirms or rules out an autism spectrum diagnosis.
This evaluation is right for parents of children showing signs of autism — delayed speech, social difficulties, or repetitive behaviors. It is also for teens and adults who have been told they might be on the spectrum but have no formal diagnosis. Autism spectrum evaluations are in high demand across Minneapolis, particularly among families in the Southwest neighborhoods seeking answers before school placement decisions are made. An evaluation gives you a clear answer so you can move forward.
Adult Autism Assessment in Minneapolis, MN
Adult autism assessments use tools designed for grown patients — not the same instruments used with children. A psychologist reviews your history, social patterns, sensory experiences, and cognitive profile. The written report supports workplace accommodations, therapy planning, and personal clarity about how your brain works.
This assessment is for adults who went undiagnosed as children — often women, people of color, or those whose symptoms were read as anxiety, ADHD, or personality differences. It is also for anyone who identified with autism through their own research and wants a formal answer. Adult autism diagnoses are increasingly sought by Minneapolis residents in their 20s, 30s, and 40s — including many in the Northeast arts and creative communities who were never flagged in traditional school settings.
Learning Disability Assessment in Minneapolis, MN
A learning disability assessment tests reading fluency, phonological processing, written expression, and math reasoning. Results identify specific learning disorders — such as dyslexia or dyscalculia — and provide the documentation that schools and employers require. Your report can support IEP eligibility, 504 plans, and standardized test accommodation requests.
This evaluation is right for children struggling with reading, writing, or math despite real effort and good instruction. It also serves adults who never received support in school and are now facing challenges at work or in higher education. Learning disability evaluations are regularly requested through Minneapolis Public Schools and by families in the Nokomis and Longfellow neighborhoods pursuing private assessments when school-based testing has a long wait. Call us at (952) 209-0526 to get the process started.
