What to Expect During an Evaluation
“It always seems impossible, until it’s done.”

When Do I Get My Results?
Following the testing, your doctor will take some time to review the scores and integrate the information into a treatment plan and recommendations.
Your test scores will be compared to scores from large groups of healthy individuals who are your age, your education, your gender, and/or your racial/ethnic background in order to determine whether your abilities fall within the normal range of functioning and to identify your personal strengths and weaknesses.
You will receive a copy of your results within 1-2 weeks of the evaluation and will have an opportunity to schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss the results with your doctor.
