The Scoop on Psych Testing: What do All Those Numbers Really Mean?

Licensed clinical psychologist Caley Schwartz, PhD will present an overview of common areas examined in psychological and psycho-educational testing, including IQ, achievement, memory, executive functioning, social communication, and development. She will discuss the significance of psych testing, what information can be gained from it, how to interpret the numbers you see in the reports, and how important comprehensive recommendations based on the conclusions of the testing are for appropriate interventions and support services.

Dr. Schwartz earned a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Miami and completed a two-year Fellowship at the Yale Child Study Center, where she received generalist and autism-specific training.
