Psychoeducational Evaluations
Psychoeducational testing is a comprehensive assessment process designed to evaluate an individual’s cognitive abilities, academic skills, and social-emotional functioning. This testing aims to identify learning disabilities, intellectual giftedness, or other challenges that may affect a person’s educational performance. The process includes the administration and interpretation of standardized tests and classroom data, interviews, and behavioral observations, providing a nuanced understanding of how a person learns and processes information. Results from psychoeducational testing can determine the presence of a learning disability such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia and inform tailored educational strategies, interventions, and support services, helping individuals achieve their academic potential and enhancing their overall well-being.
