A variety of psychological tests are used including the Wechsler tests, Stanford Binet, Vineland, and Autism assessment tools. From these assessment tools, the Psychologist or Postdoctoral Fellow prepares a summation and interpretation of results in the form of a psychological report.

Psychotherapy is provided for persons with Developmental Disabilities who have a co-occurring psychiatric condition. Psychotherapy treatment is conducted with diverse clients across the lifespan including child/adolescent, adult, family, and group. Collateral Counseling is provided for their families. Behavioral, CBT, Psychodynamic, Systemic and DBT techniques are used.
