For children with autism, CBT can be especially beneficial in managing anxiety, understanding emotions, improving social interactions, and addressing rigid thinking or repetitive behaviors.

2. What is the difference between IQ testing and educational testing?

IQ testing measures a person’s intellectual abilities, including problem-solving, reasoning, memory, and overall cognitive potential. It provides an understanding of how a child learns and processes information. On the other hand, educational testing evaluates a child's academic skills, such as reading, writing, spelling, and mathematics, identifying specific strengths and weaknesses in their learning.

​

While IQ testing focuses on general cognitive abilities, educational testing provides insight into how these abilities translate into academic performance. For a comprehensive understanding of a child’s needs, these assessments should ideally be done together. Combining IQ and educational testing allows for a more accurate and thorough evaluation, helping to identify any discrepancies between potential and actual performance and informing targeted interventions or accommodations.

Assessments typically take 1-3 hours and include standardized tests, observations, and discussions with parents.
