1. What is a Pre-N-648 Screening Consultation?

​

 A short consultation with a licensed psychologist to help determine if a person might qualify for a medical exemption (Form N-648) from the U.S. citizenship test before completing a full psychological evaluation.

​

2. Who is this for?

​

•   This service is helpful for adults who may have:   

•   Memory problems- Learning difficulties

•   Mental health conditions (e.g., PTSD, depression, schizophrenia)

•   Brain injury, stroke, or developmental disabilities

 

3.     How much does it cost?

5.   What happens after the screening?

   

     Each client receives a recommendation:

• Not Recommended (Evaluation may not be appropriate at this time

• Unclear (Additional information may be needed)

 

6.     Does this screening count as a full evaluation?

        needed later.

​

7.     Why not go straight to a full evaluation?

 

        The screening helps determine eligibility early—saving time, money, and stress.
