IQ Testing for children in the Orlando & Central Florida area.
Intelligence testing, also known as IQ testing, is a great way for parents to learn about their child's intellectual and cognitive strengths and weakness. IQ testing measures a child's ability to learn.
IQ testing for children is often done so that children can be placed in the appropriate academic learning environments based upon those strengths and weaknesses.
IQ testing for children is conducted by Richard Marcil, Jr., Ph.D., a Licensed Psychologist (#PY0005474) from the State of Florida. Due to Dr. Marcil's credentials, his IQ testing reports are accepted at public and private schools.
Dr. Marcil uses the Wechsler Intelligence Scale For Children - Fourth Edition, or WISC-IV. The WISC-IV is one of the most reliable and valid IQ testing instruments available. It is the most widely used measure of IQ for school placement. The WISC-IV provides a Full Scale IQ score representing general intellectual ability. Additionally, the WISC-IV provides IQ subtest scores that represent intellectual functioning in specific cognitive domains.
The cost of IQ testing with Dr. Marcil is $295.00. This includes administration of the test to your child (up to 2 hours), scoring of the test, and a written report specifying information about your child's abilities in 10 or more intellectual areas. The final report will be available no later than one week from the date of testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is "intelligence testing"?
Intelligence testing involves the measurement of an child's intellectual capabilities in several, specific areas. After IQ testing is completed, an "IQ Score" is yielded. IQ testing is helpful in determining a person's strengths or weaknesses in areas including, but not limited to, numerical reasoning, nonverbal reasoning, factual knowledge, attention skills, memory, and spatial relations.
What does "IQ" stand for?
"IQ" is an abbreviation for "Intelligence Quotient."
What are the age ranges for IQ testing?
Children ages 6 years 0 months through 16 years 11 months are appropriate for IQ testing by Dr. Marcil.
How long does it take to do IQ testing?
Depending on the child's age and abilities, testing can take 60-120 minutes to complete.
How do I schedule an appointment?
An appointment may be made with Dr. Marcil by calling 407-894-8507 or by email at DoctorMarcil@aol.com .
What are your office hours?
Dr. Marcil offers appointments Monday through Friday. Morning and afternoon appointment times are available.
Which insurance do you accept?
IQ testing is typically not covered by insurance companies. Their typical reasoning is that they will not pay for a service that can be obtained for free from the public school system. However, due to the frequent delays in getting a child tested in a timely manner, many parents chose to have IQ testing done privately to speed up the process.
