About Psychoeducational Assessments

Psychoeducational Assessment is an evaluation of a child or adolescent’s intellectual and academic skills, and processes related to learning (memory, attention, processing speed, phonological processing, executive functioning, fine-motor control, etc.) using a standard battery of tests. Psychoeducational Assessment is an opportunity to arrive at a new or revised understanding of your child’s history, cognitive abilities, learning, social-emotional functioning and presenting symptoms. When appropriate, a learning disability/disorder or psychological diagnoses may also be provided following an assessment. Feedback can be provided verbally in a meeting with the psychologist, as well as in the form of a written report. We also ensure that your child understands his or her own learning profile of strengths and weaknesses. Feedback and recommendations may also be given to your child’s school at your request.
