Who Accepts Online Assessments?

Since the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way people view videoconferencing, almost all courts, probation offices, employers, and various authorities are authorizing the use of online telehealth evaluations, provided the evaluator is a state-licensed mental health provider. However, we do advise you to carefully select evaluation services and only use a professional who has several years of experience submitting assessments and evaluations to courts, employers and other professionals. While online assessments are currently viewed as a generally acceptable option, you also want the evaluation report to show that the evaluator has the experience and professionalism the authority is looking for. New Directions provides you with the benefit of over 25 years of clinical experience working with courts and employers and over 15 years of experience providing professional assessments conducted online by video or phone.
