The assessment consists of a battery of tests that identifies cognitive aptitude and flexibility, academic skill development, language functioning, and behavioral issues that can be related to learning. Assessments take approximately six hours to complete, and are scheduled in three-hour increments. A comprehensive written report is generated that details an educational program strategy and recommendations for instruction.
