Professionals work with children of preschool age, elementary and high school age, and college age. School Admissions Testing Katherine M. Gordon-Clark, Ph.D. Director Eugenie W. Flaherty,Ph.D. Associate Director Assessment of intellectual abilities is required or recommended by certain independent schools as one component of the admissions process. In addition, public schools often include such testing as a component of the application to a 'gifted' or 'challenge' program. Generally intellectual abilities are assessed through administration of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale or the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. These tests are administered at the Child Study Institute by a qualified and experienced examiner.
Administration takes approximately one and one-half to two hours.
Within one week, a complete written report will be sent to parents, and to any schools as requested by the parents. The examiner is available for consultation and to answer any questions after parents receive the report. This testing is conducted Monday through Saturday mornings.
