What is the testing like?

The testing experience will vary depending upon the needs and age of your child. Testing may be conducted in one or two days. For toddlers and young children, testing involves a combination of play-based activities, floor play, and table activities; these activities may involve completing puzzles, problem solving with toys, and answering questions. Testing will be appropriately modified for children with limited verbal skills.    

For older children, testing involves paper and pencil tasks and computer-based tasks; much of these activities occur while seated at a table. The experience is designed to be positive and enjoyable for your child to ensure that they perform at their best.
