Meeting Clients’ Needs with Positive Psychology Coaching

A Program That Will Set You Apart

The Highlands Ability Battery includes a 2-hour debrief with a Highlands Certified Consultant (HCC). Clients meet with an HCC either in person, by phone, or by video conference. The in-depth and personalized review sets the HAB apart from all other assessments, ensuring consistent quality and applicable, real-world results.
