About Pearson: Pearson is the world’s leading lifelong learning company, serving customers in nearly 200 countries. With over 80 years of experience in the clinical testing field, Pearson’s Assessment group offers innovative measures and resources that support clinical professionals and those they are called to serve. We are particularly recognized for our assessment contributions in cognitive/ability, memory, behavior, achievement, and speech/language.

Participant Involvement: Selected individuals aged 6 to 16 will work one-on one with a qualified examiner at a mutually agreed upon time and location. Participants will earn a $120-$145 digital gift card by taking part in a 2 1/2 to 3 hour testing session. Participants will be asked to complete various tasks, including solving puzzles, memory games, picture matching, answering questions, problem solving challenges, and other engaging activities!
