Our specialized assessments
We offer specialized nonverbal cognitive and vocational assessments tailored to meet the needs of deaf and hard of hearing individuals. Our assessments use visual, performance-based tools to eliminate language barriers and provide an equitable measure of each person's abilities. At Evans Counseling & Vocational Assessment Services, our approach is focused on understanding and responding to what you require, providing effective and practical solutions.
Nonverbal cognitive assessment
Our nonverbal cognitive assessments utilize visual and performance-based tasks to evaluate reasoning, memory, and problem-solving skills without language interference. This ensures a fair and accurate representation of cognitive ability for deaf individuals.
Vocational assessment
Our vocational assessments measure visual-spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, attention to detail, motor coordination, and work behavior. This helps guide deaf individuals toward careers where their abilities will shine.
Personalized employment plans
We provide data-driven profiles of each person's skills, learning style, and potential work environments. Counselors and job coaches can then design personalized employment or training plans, ensuring a better match between the individual’s strengths and specific job requirements.
