Psychological Assessment: Psychological assessments clarify how individuals think, feel, learn, interact, problem-solve, and manage in day-to-day life. They can provide useful information for understanding challenges, identifying diagnoses, and guide interventions in therapy, school, or work.
Assessments begin with reviewing goals and gathering history, and continue with answering questions, completing activities and forms, and seeking input from people who know the individual well. They conclude with a feedback session that includes reviewing results, discussing reactions, and making a collaborative plan for next steps. As a licensed and experienced school psychologist (RI, MA, IL) Dr. Fulton is skilled in helping families navigate supports within the educational system.
