Cognitive & IQ Testing for Children and Adults in
Staten Island, NY
Understanding how you or your child thinks, learns, remembers, and solves problems can open the door to the right support at school, at work, and at home.
At AFFA Diagnostic & Treatment Medical Center, we provide comprehensive cognitive and IQ testing in Staten Island, NY for children and adults, with clarity and practical next steps.
What Is Cognitive and IQ Testing?
IQ and cognitive testing uses standardized, evidence based assessments to evaluate intellectual abilities, including reasoning, verbal comprehension, memory, problem solving, and information processing.
A comprehensive evaluation provides more than an IQ score, offering a clearer understanding of an individual’s cognitive strengths, areas of difficulty, and overall learning profile.
- Verbal reasoning and comprehension
- Visual-spatial and nonverbal reasoning
- Working memory
- Processing speed
- Overall intellectual functioning and cognitive abilities
- Problem-solving and abstract thinking

For adults
- Lifelong or newly noticed difficulty with focus, memory, or organization

A Thorough, Comfortable Evaluation Designed for Clarity
At AFFA Diagnostic & Treatment Medical Center, every evaluation is tailored to the person being tested. We take the time to make children and adults feel at ease, because relaxed, engaged testing leads to more accurate and meaningful results.
Our evaluation process may include:
- An intake interview covering medical, developmental, educational, and personal history
- Review of prior evaluations, school records, or relevant medical information
- One-on-one standardized cognitive testing suited to age and needs
- Careful scoring and interpretation of reasoning, memory, and processing patterns
- A feedback session that explains results in plain language, with written recommendations
Because we also offer ADHD and autism evaluations, our team can look at cognitive results alongside attention, behavior, and developmental concerns when that is helpful.
