PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS. The CPC provides a number of formal evaluations. The most frequent questions we receive are about learning disorders (LD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).  We can also evaluate children, adolescents, and adults to provide information regarding intellectual ability and adaptive behavior to assist in applications for Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) eligibility.  Additional questions are considered on a case-by-case basis.

The ASU Department of Psychology recognizes the contributions of faculty members who have passed away but helped build the foundation that we all stand on today. Through their selfless work, they have helped to make the world a better place that we understand more.

About the Child Study Lab

Established by the Department of Psychology in 1972, the Child Study Lab (CSL) is a preschool community where children and families explore, create, learn and grow. Staff from other early education programs throughout Maricopa County also visit the CSL to study quality practices in early childhood education. We serve children ages 15 months to 5 years.

Social Skills Training, Sleep Therapy, and Psychological Evaluations

SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING. Good social skills are essential for successful functioning in life and influence school performance, relationships, and job success. To meet the high demand for group programs that teach these skills, the CPC offers “The Friendship Groups” for children ages 7 through 13. The content for the sessions is based on an evidence-based program shown to be effective in improving children's social skills.
