About Admissions Testing
Many independent schools require formal admissions testing, such as cognitive tests (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V), Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence for Children (WPPSI-IV), individually administered achievement tests (WIAT or WJ) or standardized achievement tests like the SSAT www.ssat.org. We provide the WISC-V, WPPSI-IV, SSAT and additional measures of achievement and ability through more comprehensive psychoeducational testing. *Please note that we provide the SSAT FLEX , which can only be taken ONCE per a calendar year (standard administration of SSAT can be taken as many times as you wish). After you have scheduled your appointment with us, you will receive instructions on how to register with SSAT (mandatory).
About Collaborative Educational Consulting
MEC Group and Jennifer Hursey, M. Ed. (Jen) of J. Hursey Consulting collaborate to provide clients with individualized services. MEC Group founder, Theodra Washington and Jen began to notice the tremendous value working together with families was having for clients across both MEC Group and J. Hursey Consulting practices. Theodra and Jen have been offering collaborative sessions to clients since 2009, and in the Summer of 2014 established a standard process of meeting collaboratively with all new clients requesting educational testing and/or consulting services through either practice. Both Jen and Theodra feel that each and every school-aged client (and his/her family), whether their reason for scheduling is school placement, advocacy, advisement or psychoeducational testing, benefits tremendously from having both minds involved from the beginning.
Thank you and we look forward to working with you!
Jen, Theodra and Maria
