CSDC Assessment Policies and Procedures

______  Eligibility: I understand that I must be registered either full time or half time to be eligible for student
            rate LD/ADHD testing.

______  Fees: Total cost of testing is arranged and agreed upon by Assessment Coordinator and client with option of paying in installments to Joan at the testing office (QLC Room 307) via cash or check.  Please make check payable to: University of Hawaii at Mānoa.  Total payment is due before feedback session can be scheduled and report can be given.

______  Payment: I understand that payment for testing does not guarantee a specific outcome or result, and that the payment is for testing services rendered. 

______  No Show/Cancellation Policy: No shows/same day cancellations will result in a $10 fee added onto my total payment due.  I may also be dropped to the bottom of the wait list resulting in a significant delay in completing testing.

 

Assessment Screening Appointment (50 minutes):

______  I understand that an assessment screen is to explore my needs, strengths, and weaknesses as a student and examine a variety of options to increase my academic success.

______  I understand CSDC is limited in the number of assessments that can be provided.  Priority is given to students who are in immediate academic need and are in danger of academic disqualification.

______  I understand that learning assessments can be provided by community agencies.  They typically can complete an assessment in a much shorter time frame than CSDC.  The cost typically ranges from $1500 and above.  Any paperwork or other records I have completed at CSDC can be sent to these agencies if I sign a release of information.  Reproduction or duplication costs $0.05 per page.

_____    I understand that if I am unable to be tested this semester, my place on the wait list the subsequent semester will be affected by how soon I provide my new time schedule and availability.

Paperwork to be Completed Before Scheduling an Assessment Intake:

______  Create assessment file (with front desk)

______  Overview of the CSDC Assessment Policies & Procedures (review and sign)

______  Application Form: Background Information

______  Brown ADD (self-report and collateral)

______  Release of information for educational and medical records (as needed)

Testing:                                               

______  I understand that once I have returned the completed paperwork (e.g., the background information and/or contract form) to Dr. Sam Khen in suite 312, an assigned assessment counselor will call to schedule an Assessment Intake appointment with you to start the testing process.

 

______  I understand that individual testing may take anywhere between 4-12 hours to complete depending on presenting issues.  I will be given a time slot (usually 2-4 hours long) and I will meet during that time period for several weeks until testing is complete.  Testing may take about two to four weeks once it has begun.

______  I understand that I may be tested by a doctoral psychology trainee or a post-doctoral fellow who is supervised by a licensed psychologist.

 

Feedback:

______  I understand that after testing has been completed and I have paid in full, I will meet with my counselor to review the results which may be about 2-4 weeks after the completion of testing.  At that time I will be given a copy of the report to keep.

______  Should I wish to have my report sent to another department and/or agency (e.g., Kokua), I must sign a written consent.

______  I understand that, by law, my records will be kept for 15 years before being destroyed.  These records are kept securely and no one can obtain them without my written consent.
