An appointment with my (my child’s) therapist and the person who did the testing will be scheduled to discuss the results of the psychological testing.

Limits of Confidentiality : Like all treatment records, reports and results of psychological testing are confidential and can be released only with a written consent authorizing such release. However, I understand if I or the testing subject discloses information related to suspected threats of physical harm of self or others, occurrence of child, elder, or dependent adult abuse, or if commanded by court order, RAMS will be required to disclose such information to appropriate authorities or parties mandated by law.
