Psychological Evaluations Because many challenges to optimal functioning may be caused by a combination of difficulties, comprehensive assessment of intelligence, development, academic achievement, learning disabilities, attention, executive functioning, emotion, behavior, and personality is often needed to identify the precise areas to address. Dr. Morrison personally administers and interprets the tests and provides a thorough report that integrates the findings into specific actionable recommendations, which includes such things as appropriate classroom instruction in the school or college setting, speech/language or occupational therapy, medication consultation with a primary physician or psychiatrist, specialized tutoring, psychotherapy, or social skills training.
