PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL EVALUATIONS
A psychoeducational evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of a student's cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning. These evaluations can identify learning differences as well as attention deficits. Psychoeducational assessments are individualized, based on the student's area of concern. Academic accommodations may require coordination with your child's school. Examples of possible accommodations may include extra time on standardized tests, directions read aloud, simplified assignments, or use a calculator. 1508 accommodation requirements can be found in the Bulletin 1508.
Psychoeducational assessments are also available for college-level students. These evaluations can be useful in identifying academic weaknesses and attention deficits that may not have been detected or addressed during grade school. These evaluations may be required for academic accommodations.

Psychoeducational assessments consist of three components- Initial Interview, Testing Session, and Feedback Session. Each service is billed independently.
At the student’s initial 50 minute intake session, we will determine the appropriate standardized measures needed to identify personal strengths and areas of concern. Parent and teacher forms are essential portions of your child's assessment. They allow us to gain a more accurate depiction of you and teachers observe at home and at school. All versions of the forms are sent electronically with unique links.
The testing session can be completed within 3-4 hours depending on the child’s symptoms, cooperation, and attention level. The remainder of the testing fee is due the day of testing. Although most assessments are completed in one day, there are rare occasions that an additional day of testing may be needed if your child has difficulty completing the assessment with the allotted breaks. If an additional day of testing is needed, there is no additional fee as long as the total assessment time remains within 3-4 hours.
After your child's test results have been interpreted, a feedback session will be schedule. We will share test results, as well as academic recommendations, while addressing your questions and concerns. Aftr
