Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Psychological & Vocational Evaluations

Helping Individuals Access the Support, Accommodations, and Resources They Need for Employment Success

 

Overview

What Are TWC Evaluations?

We provide comprehensive psychological and vocational assessments for individuals participating in the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Vocational Rehabilitation program. These evaluations help identify cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and learning factors that may affect a person’s ability to obtain or maintain employment.

Our goal is to provide clear, actionable information that supports TWC counselors, enhances service planning, and empowers clients on their path toward meaningful and sustainable employment.

 

Who These Evaluations Are For

TWC evaluations are designed for individuals who may need support with:

  • Returning to work after injury or illness
  • Entering the workforce for the first time
  • Managing mental health, developmental, or learning concerns that impact employment
  • Transitioning from school to adult vocational programs
  • Understanding strengths and barriers related to job readiness
  • Determining accommodations needed for training or workplace success

If a TWC counselor has referred you for psychological testing, we are equipped to guide you through the process with clarity and support.
