Lightner Witmer opened this clinic and provided the ability to apply psychological philosophy to human illness (Reisman, 1991).

Even though Witmer’s thoughts and ideas were not well received at that time, he was still able to open the clinic and provide programs for children struggling with school-related issues (Plante, 2011). The development of tests to help explore the mental abilities in children grew with the Binet-Simon intelligence scale that was created for testing children in 1904.
