Psychological Testing & Evaluations

PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING & EVALUATIONS IN LAFAYETTE, LA
Comprehensive psychological assessments serving clients across Lafayette and the greater Acadiana region.

At Aucoin & Associates Psychology Practice, we provide in-depth psychological testing and evaluations for children, teens, and adults throughout Lafayette and surrounding Acadiana communities. Our highly trained clinicians and psychologists use a wide array of assessment tools to gain a deeper understanding of each client’s unique cognitive, emotional, behavioral, or developmental needs.

Whether you’re seeking answers about learning differences, behavioral concerns, emotional distress, or diagnostic clarity, we offer a personalized and data-driven approach to assessment. Our goal is to help individuals and families receive the insight and support they need to move forward with confidence.

What We Assess

We provide evaluations for a broad range of concerns, including:

• ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)
• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
• Learning Differences
• Depression and Anxiety Disorders
• Mood Instability
• Developmental Delays

Each assessment is designed with the individual’s age, developmental level, and presenting concerns in mind.

Our Evaluation Process

Psychological testing typically involves several components to ensure a well-rounded and accurate understanding of the individual. These may include:

• Diagnostic Interviews: Clinicians gather background information, personal history, and current concerns.
• Standardized Psychological Testing: Psychometrically supported tools are used to assess emotional functioning, intellectual ability, academic achievement, attention, behavior, memory, and executive functioning.
• Parent/Teacher Rating Scales & Collateral Interviews: When appropriate, input is gathered from caregivers or teachers for additional context.
• School Observations: In some cases, we conduct classroom observations to better understand behaviors in academic settings.

Following testing, we provide clients and families with a detailed evaluation report and offer recommendations for treatment, accommodations, or next steps.

Specialized Evaluations for Legal & Professional Needs

In addition to diagnostic testing, Aucoin & Associates offers evaluations for specific external requirements, including:

1. Fitness-for-Duty Evaluations: These assessments help determine if an individual is psychologically fit to perform duties required by their job. This is particularly common in safety-sensitive occupations or high-stress professional roles.
2. Custody Evaluations: Our licensed professionals offer comprehensive custody evaluations when ordered by the court or requested by legal professionals. These evaluations assess parenting capacity and child well-being to support custody and visitation decisions.
3. Court-Ordered Mental Health Evaluations: When required by the legal system, our clinicians provide evaluations to assess an individual’s mental health status and inform legal proceedings.
4. Surgical Clearance: Some surgical procedures, such as bariatric surgery, require psychological clearance. We offer these evaluations in a timely and professional manner to ensure clients can proceed with their medical treatment plans.
