Intellectual (IQ) Testing for School Applications
How does testing work?
Our clinicians utilize the Wechsler Assessment for IQ testing. The version of the Wechsler test used (WISC-V or WPPSI-IV) depends strictly on the age of the child at the time of testing. Testing will be completed in person and will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.
Results will be sent from our clinic per the respective school guidelines after families have provided us with a signed release of information (provided by the school).
Please note that this test can only be taken once in 12 months.
What language is testing conducted in?
Test administration must be conducted in English per standardized Wechsler procedures and according to the schools.
We have Mandarin-speaking clinicians who can assist with the general structure of an appointment. However, while a Mandarin-speaking clinician may be present and provide general assistance in Mandarin, the test itself will not be translated and must be conducted in English.
How much does testing cost?
The fee for an IQ assessment for the purpose of school application is $850 out-of-pocket.
This fee includes the in-person test administration, phone feedback session, narrative report, and submission to the schools of choice.
If applying to Nueva, Nueva has an Assessment Voucher Program for low-income families. If your family is participating in this program, please apply directly with Nueva and present your voucher to us prior to scheduling the appointment for testing.
Reduced fee testing based on low income is available. Please inquire if you require this option.
When will the results/report be available?
Results are typically available within a week of the testing session. Please let us know if you require a quicker turnaround time, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

智商测验流程：
测试是如何进行的？
我们的测试团队由多位经验丰富的执照临床心理学博士组成，使用韦氏智力测验（Wechsler Assessment）进行智商测试。所使用的韦氏测试版本和私立学校的要求一致（WISC-V 或 WPPSI-IV）。测试将在现场进行，预计耗时约 1.5 至 2 小时。
在家长签字同意后，我们会按照相应学校的具体要求，将测试结果直接从我们的诊所发送至学校。
请注意，智商测试每 12 个月只能进行一次。
测试使用什么语言？
根据韦氏智商测试的标准化程序和学校要求，测试必须以英语进行。
我们有会说中文的临床心理学家，可以用中文和孩子沟通，帮助孩子降低焦虑感，也可以用中文和家长沟通，解答家长们的问题。但是请注意，即使负责测试的心理学家是双语，智商测验的整个过程中，测试内容都不能被翻译成中文，必须以英语进行。
测试费用是多少？
用于学校申请的智商评估费用为 $850，由客户自付。
该费用包括现场测试、对测试结果的简单反馈、报告撰写以及提交至申请学校的服务。
如果您申请 Nueva 学校，该校为低收入家庭提供评估代金券计划。如果您的家庭参加了此计划，请直接向 Nueva 申请代金券，并在安排测试预约前将其提交给我们。
我们也提供基于低收入家庭的减费测试服务（需要提交报税证明）。如果需要此选项，请联系我们。
测试结果/报告多久能出？
测试结果通常会在测试后一周内提供。如果您需要更快的周转时间，请告知我们，我们将尽力满足您的需求。
