We proudly serve families in Rockville, Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Silver Spring, and throughout Montgomery County, MD.
Why Elementary School Testing Matters
The early school years lay the foundation for your child’s future academic, social, and emotional development. When challenges arise in elementary school—whether in reading, math, behavior, or focus—they can impact not just grades, but also confidence, motivation, and relationships with peers and teachers.
An early, comprehensive evaluation helps identify the root of the concern and outlines what your child needs to succeed.
Our testing services support:
- Struggles with attention, memory, or focus
- Learning differences in reading, writing, or math
- Emotional regulation and behavioral challenges
- Gaps between effort and school performance
- Concerns about school readiness or giftedness
- Documentation for IEPs, 504 Plans, or private school applications
What Is Elementary School Testing
Elementary school testing is a full psychological evaluation tailored to children in grades K–5. It combines multiple tools to assess your child’s cognitive strengths, academic performance, emotional well-being, and executive functioning skills.
Each evaluation may include:
- Cognitive and IQ testing to assess problem-solving, memory, and reasoning
- Achievement testing to evaluate reading, writing, and math progress
- Executive function assessments for attention, organization, and self-control
- Behavioral and emotional screenings based on teacher and parent feedback
- Developmental and educational history review
We use evidence-based tools and a child-centered approach to ensure accurate results in a supportive, age-appropriate setting.
What Should Consider Testing?
You may want to consider a private elementary school evaluation if your child:
- Has trouble focusing, sitting still, or completing assignments
- Consistently falls behind in reading, math, or writing
- Gets frequent notes home about classroom behavior
- Shows signs of frustration, anxiety, or low self-esteem
- Seems bright but struggles to show it on paper
- Needs accommodations for standardized testing or school placement
If you have concerns—or just want clarity—an evaluation can provide the answers you need to support your child’s growth and learning.
Our Step-by-Step Evaluation Process
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We begin with a detailed intake meeting with parents or caregivers. This may be done in person or via secure telehealth. We review school history, medical background, developmental milestones, and your goals for testing.
Step 2: Testing Sessions
Your child completes testing over one to three sessions, depending on age and needs. Sessions are engaging, child-friendly, and paced appropriately to minimize fatigue and anxiety.
Step 3: Scoring and Clinical Interpretation
Our licensed psychologists score and analyze all assessments to identify patterns across academic, cognitive, and emotional domains.
Step 4: Feedback and Written Report
You receive a clear, comprehensive report that includes findings, recommendations, and next steps. We meet with you to walk through the results, answer questions, and provide guidance tailored to your child’s specific profile.
School Testing vs Private Testing: What’s the Difference?
While public schools can offer educational evaluations, they are typically focused on eligibility for services—not full diagnostic clarity. School testing may take months to schedule, and results may be limited in scope.
By contrast, private testing at Washington Insight Solutions offers:
- Faster turnaround times (typically completed in 3 to 4 weeks)
- Broader assessment areas including emotions, behavior, and executive function
- Diagnoses such as ADHD or learning disorders when appropriate
- Recommendations that support both home and school success
- Reports accepted by most schools for IEPs and 504 accommodations
Will the school accept a private evaluation?
Yes. Most schools in Montgomery County recognize and accept private psychological reports for IEP or 504 planning.
Does testing mean my child will be labeled?
Not at all. An evaluation is about understanding—not labeling. It helps identify strengths and challenges so you can provide effective support.
Do you work with schools?
Yes. With your consent, we can collaborate with teachers, school psychologists, or counselors to support your child’s success.
Do you offer gifted testing or early admissions evaluations?
Yes. We offer IQ testing and school admissions assessments as part of our comprehensive services.
