Center for Assessment
The UC Berkeley Psychology Clinic provides high quality assessments and evaluations at a reduced fee based on household income. This can include testing and other forms of information gathering to answer questions related to struggles in school or work, difficulties concentrating, recent changes in cognitive functioning and performance, and other social, interpersonal, or emotional concerns.
In the past, the UC Berkeley Psychology Clinic has provided a wide range of assessments, including the following:
- Dyslexia & Learning Differences
- Giftedness
- ADHD
- Child/Adolescent Behavioral, Emotional and School Problems
- Mild Cognitive Impairment & Other Neuropsychological Assessment
- Personality & Other Psychological Assessment
Unfortunately, we cannot conduct evaluations that are part of any court or legal proceedings. There may also be certain clinical concerns that we are unable to assess. If you are completing an assessment with us to determine whether you are eligible for accommodations through a specific organization, please notify the clinician of those needs at the intake and bring along information about any specific tests the organization requires, along with any past reports that have been completed. This will allow us to complete an as thorough assessment as possible. Note that if testing has been completed recently or is currently being conducted elsewhere, we may not be able to offer an assessment. We are happy to discuss this more with you during our phone screen to answer your questions about this process and to determine fit.
