Adult Testing

Edward A. Martinelli, Jr., PH.D, Licensed Psychologist, Utah LLC. 801-228-8311, ed@utahtested.com
Ed is the Director of the disability office at UVU making it possible for him to do the evaluations in the evenings and on Saturdays. Ed currently charges $450 for each evaluation.
Depending on where the results are headed (ACT, College, or post college tests), Ed structures the testing to meet those requirements. Generally speaking, Ed uses the WAIS-IV for the cognitive ability battery, and the Woodcock-Johnson III Achievement Battery for the achievement measure. Ed gives the full standard battery, and then if the results show difficulty in a particular area, then he will give the supplemental subtests in that area. Ed includes a look at ADD/ADHD through a couple of self-reports. For some end-users, he will also give the Nelson-Denny Reading Test.  Ed can also rule out for emotional or memory concerns, and charge $50 for the first and $75 for the second (MMPI-II or WMS-IV).
Ed does the testing out of his office at UVU (Lossee Center rm. 312). The testing tends to take 6-8 hours to do the intake, cognitive ability testing, achievement testing, other measures, and then he will schedule a meeting to go over the results.  He typically gives 3-4 copies so that there are enough to go where people need to.. He can work with people pretty quickly once he knows their situation. It typically takes about 2-3 meetings to get the testing done, depending on the client’s ability to meet with him.  Ed has done lots of work with ACT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, and the GMAT evaluations and tris to keep up with their requirements, deadlines, and processes.
Ed cannot do evaluations for individuals looking to come to UVU, as doing the evaluation and then determining their status at UVU would present a conflict of interest for him and the school.

Did you know that one in five adults cannot:

The Literacy Action Center teaches these adults
to read, write, and calculate!

The Literacy Action Center, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization since February 1985, transforms English-speaking adults, who enter our program with limited reading, writing, or math skills, into skilled, passionate, habitual, critical readers, writers, and mathematicians! We specialize in English-speaking adults whose reading, writing, or math skills are below a fifth grade level and live in Salt Lake County or Davis County in Utah, USA.

Our instruction is delivered in two ways: small group instruction by paid professionals and a core of volunteers with expertise and passions in specific areas and one-on-one tutoring by trained volunteers. Why both? These adults need the advantages that come with both delivery methods; each method provides program elements that the other method cannot provide.

For adults who want to get help with reading, please contact
