What DOES NOT constitute a quality neuropsychological and psychological evaluation? - Any evaluation completed by an individual with LPC, LPC-S, M.Ed., LCSW, LADC, other master’s or bachelor's level degrees (e.g., psych technicians) as this training is typically insufficient for comprehensive psychological evaluations. - Online screenings (e.g., ADHD Online) or other “quick-service” assessments. - When an evaluation only incorporates screening measures without neuropsychological elements. - Evaluations conducted via Telehealth or virtually. - Evaluations conducted by psychological technicians, with limited psychologist involvement. - Evaluations and reports conducted or written by AI or psych techs, with a psychologist merely signing it.
