All assessments are different as all children have varying needs. Many referral questions include questions regarding attention based concerns (ADHD/Executive Functioning), Learning Disabilities (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia) or social emotional concerns (Anxiety, Depression, Autism Spectrum).
A “typical” evaluation includes: an IQ test, Achievement test (test for Mathematics, Reading and Writing skills). Beyond this, tests can involve more specific assessments related to the referral question at hand including neuropsychological testing, social-emotional testing, executive functioning testing, classroom observations, or teacher/parent/child rating scales. These assessments are typically given in my office and usually can be completed in 2 or 3 office visits of approximately 2.5 hours per visit. This varies by the child.
Price for this type of assessment varies greatly. A full psychoeducational evaluation typically starts at 1200 euro but this can change depending on what type of testing is needed. For an IQ only assessment this would be 400 euro.
My assessments are not reimbursed by social security but sometimes can be covered fully or partially by your mutuelle or company reimbursement plan. If this is something that applies to you, please contact your provider ahead of time. I am fully licensed as a Psychologist in France and can provide you with the appropriate paperwork needed for reimbursement.
