Assessments
Outpatient Assessments
Targeted assessments for specific questions about your mental health.
Not everyone needs a full comprehensive assessment. Sometimes you simply need clarity in one area whether that be attention, learning disabilities, or cognitive functioning. The Menninger Assessments Center offers a range of outpatient assessments designed to answer focused clinical questions and guide next steps in treatment or support.
These services are one-time, stand-alone evaluations conducted by specialists across psychiatry, psychology, neuropsychology, nutrition, spiritual care, and behavioral health. Each assessment is evidence-based, compassionate, and tailored to your needs.
Who These Assessments Help
Outpatient assessments may be a good fit for individuals who:
-
Have a specific concern they want evaluated
-
Need testing or documentation for school or workplace accommodations
-
Want clarity about symptoms related to attention, autism spectrum disorder or developmental concerns, learning challenges or disabilities, or changes in cognitive function
-
Want to understand cognitive changes or learning challenges
-
Do not require a full multidisciplinary evaluation
These assessments can be used on their own or as part of a broader treatment plan.
Outpatient Assessments can benefit a wide range of ages, including children 7 years and older. Autism assessments and Developmental Evaluations are also available for children as young as toddlers.
