Psychoeducational Evaluations

Psycho-educational testing involves one-on-one, individualized assessment. The reason for the assessment may include:

• Gifted students in need of a greater challenge

• Gifted/learning disabled students

• Students who are underachieving in school in all areas

• Students who are struggling in specific subject areas

• Other educational, emotional, or behavioural challenges

Psychoeducational assessments are also done with adults, for a variety of reasons including:

• Young adults entering college or university in need of accommodations or adaptations

• Mature adults returning to school

Tests of intelligence, achievement, personality, cognitive processing, and/or social and emotional development, are used to evaluate and/or diagnose:

•    Cognitive strengths and weaknesses
•    Giftedness
•    Specific learning disabilities (e.g. dyslexia)
•    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
•    Social/Behavioural Needs

Evaluations include:

•    One or more sessions to complete the testing
•    A review of school records/discussions with the school if requested
•    A written report with recommendations and programming considerations
•    A consultation session to discuss and interpret findings.
