    JAMES, P. J.
    Mother appeals from a judgment of jurisdiction
    and disposition. Mother does not challenge the portion of
    the judgment taking jurisdiction over child. Rather, she con-
    tends that the juvenile court erred in ordering her to par-
    ticipate in a psychological evaluation. The Department of
    Human Services concedes that, in light of our recent deci-
    sion in Dept. of Human Services v. W. C. T., 
    314 Or App 743
    ,
    501 P3d 44 (2021), the court erred. The concession is well
    taken. Based on the concession, the parties are in agree-
    ment that the disposition portion of the judgment should be
    vacated and remanded to delete the order that mother par-
    ticipate in a psychological evaluation.
    Vacated and remanded as to order that mother sub-
    mit to a psychological evaluation; otherwise affirmed.
