Educational Evaluations are conducted to assess a client's learning, behavioral or physical disabilities that may interfere with learning. The concept of learning disabilities is not a new area of concern for educators. At the turn of century wise educators sought to study the problems observed within children who struggled in class.
Vocational Assessments are not new to the work world. In fact, the initial assessments began at the turn of the century at the industrial revolution period. Since work fields were becoming more specialized, job tasks had to be analyzed and reaction time of workers was measured along the way. Then as time passed, World War II occurred and the military began analyzing work flows and identifying tasks unique to each position.
Forensic services involve any relevant legal matter that involves psychological complications requiring professional assessments. Consultations may be Court ordered as local statutes require for matters of the Court, or community agencies enforcing a federal or state statute such as in cases of child abuse or other protective matter.
Hypnosis is simply a restful state of mind that you have experienced many times within the daily routine. For instance, when we become so intrigued with a TV program that we are unaware of anything else around us. Or, when we drive a car from point A to point B, yet are unaware of how we actually got there.
