Testing Services
Dr. Matthews does not normally allow family or caregivers to sit in and observe testing. Test security is at risk as well as the performance of the test taker. Family members are asked to not interfere or interrupt testing when the Do Not Disturb sign is present on the door. Interruptions may compromise the assessment process and results. Furthermore, the results may not reveal what the client or family is expecting. The process may reveal a similar problem or diagnosis or it may not.
