Psychoeducational Assessments
At our clinic we provide Comprehensive Psychoeducational Assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. These evaluations are designed to provide a detailed understanding of learning strengths and challenges, cognitive abilities, academic skills, and emotional or behavioral factors that may impact learning and daily functioning.
Common Areas Assessed in Psychoeducational Evaluations
● Cognitive abilities such as reasoning, problem solving, and memory
● Academic skills including reading, writing, and mathematics
● Attention and executive functioning
● Processing speed and learning efficiency
● Social, emotional, and behavioral factors that may affect learning
● Learning strategies, coping skills, and areas needing support
A Psychoeducational Assessment is not just about identifying difficulties. It is about understanding how and why learning challenges occur, and providing a clear plan to support success in school, work, and everyday life.
● For students it can support access to academic accommodations such as extra time on exams, modified assignments, learning strategies, or individualized education planning.
● For families it can provide clarity, guidance, and recommendations for supporting learning at home and advocating for resources at school.
● For schools it can inform academic planning, accommodations, and support strategies that match each individual’s profile.
Whether for students, adults in the workplace, or everyday life, a psychoeducational assessment can help unlock strategies, accommodations, and supports to help you or your child thrive.

What to Expect
A psychoeducational assessment is a multi step process that typically involves several hours of clinical work depending on age and complexity. The main steps include:
1. Clinical Interview
A conversation with the individual and/or parents or caregivers to understand developmental history, learning experiences, challenges, and goals.
2. Testing Administration
Administration of standardized cognitive measures to assess intellectual functioning
3. Scoring and Report Writing
Review and integration of all assessment information into a formal report with recommendations.
4. Feedback and Results Session
A session to review results, explain findings, and discuss recommendations for educational planning and next steps.
Psychoeducational assessments provide a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s learning profile, strengths, and areas for support. Our goal is to make the process clear, respectful, and useful, so families, schools, and individuals can move forward with confidence and effective strategies for success
