Columbia, Maryland. Integrative Counseling can tailor the testing to the needs of our clients.
Testing Options include:
|
Psychoeducational Testing
- Testing to determine if a learning disability is present. Sometimes, when a student has
difficulty in school, there may be a learning deficit or disability. Many of these problems
can be addressed or improved with special learning techniques or accommodations. In
order to determine what is needed, a full psychological and educational battery is needed.
This testing requires 2 hours plus 1 hour for an initial interview and can be scheduled all in
one day.
- Testing to determine if attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is present. ADHD
used to be called Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) but is now called ADHD and has three
different types. This testing includes many of the Psychoeducational testing measures
described above plus additional ADHD measures in order to determine the role of
attention on a person’s performance. Testing generally takes 4-5 hours, plus a clinical
interview and should be scheduled in 2 separate testing sessions. One of these sessions
must be in the morning prior to noon for optimal attention and performance.
- Testing to determine accurate psychological diagnoses. This testing includes personality
testing. The test battery includes an intelligence test, projective and objective personality
measures and requires 4 hours of testing plus an initial interview. This can be scheduled in
one or two days, depending on client preference.
- Testing to determine a family’s appropriateness for foster parenting. The test battery
includes psychological, personality, and parenting assessment measures. Testing requires
3 hours plus 1 hour of clinical interview and can be scheduled in one day.
- Session to discuss testing options and needs. If the client pursues testing, this fee will be
deducted from the total fee required.
All test fees include interview, testing, materials cost, report, and feedback session. Feedback
sessions can be conducted in person or by phone. All testing services must be paid in full prior to
testing or consultation. We do not accept insurance for testing services but we will provide a
statement of services. Check with your insurance plan; some insurance companies do reimburse
clients for out of network services.

| All Testing Services are completed by: Dr. Giovanni Scott, Psy.D. Licensed Clinical Psychologist My training includes extensive work with children as young as 5, adolescents, adults, couples and families. When working with children, parent/guardian consultations are essential, as they are partners in the healing of their children. It is the combined efforts of child, parent, teacher and psychologist that result in success. I have developed competency in providing evaluations of psychoeducational, psychological, and emotional functioning. I provide comprehensive feedback and make recommendations that support optimizing your life and your performance. I can also avail myself for consultation. |
As a psychologist, I enjoy helping people to improve their
functioning. It is through a thorough assessment and
individualized approach that I seek to understand a person's
difficulties. To achieve that, I assess each patient in the context
of his/her culture, faith and ethnicity. Additionally, I seek to help
patients better understand their motivations and the impact of
belief systems on their choices and behaviors.
