Report
Viewpoint conducted an evaluation of my my son to help identify his respective strengths and weaknesses. The psychologist's demeanor and clear mastery of her field made me comfortable as it related to the educational testing process. My son was put at ease by her, and the report and follow up interview to discuss results was tremendously insightful. I would strongly recommend her for any cognitive evaluation dealing with children.

Phycological assessment, required for CBE, was not reflecting my sons IQ level, led to disqualification from the GATE program by CBE. Definitely not recommended
