PSYCHO-EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS
Understand how your child learns and how to support them.
ARE YOU...
✔︎ Worried that your child is struggling in school, but unsure why?
✔︎ Hearing feedback like “they aren’t meeting their potential” or “they’re falling behind,” but feeling like that’s not the full story?
You’re looking for real answers and a plan that actually helps.
Psycho-educational assessments help identify a child’s strengths and areas for growth, and are typically required to develop an Individual Education Plan (IEP) at school.
The right information leads to the right support.
A psycho-educational assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your child’s thinking and learning skills. We look at intellectual and academic abilities, attention, memory, executive functioning, and more. It includes investigating for a possible learning disability and/or ADHD.
You’ll walk away with a deep understanding of your child’s strengths and needs, along with a written report with clear, practical recommendations that you can use right away.
If you choose to share the report with your child’s school, it may also be used to support the development of an Individual Education Plan (IEP).
How It Works
Once your child is comfortable, they will be asked to complete various cognitive activities, such as solving visual puzzles, answering questions, and completing memory tasks.
Some questions will require the use of a paper and pencil, while others will involve the use of an iPad. At the second session, your child will be asked to answer some reading, writing, and math questions.
FEE: $4290
How can I prepare my child for a psycho-educational assessment?
You should discuss the assessment with your child at least a few days before the initial session. When speaking with your child, try to frame the experience in a positive light. You can tell your child that the purpose of the assessment is to learn more about their learning style, their strengths, and how to face tasks they find challenging at school.
Try to avoid the word “test” because it can sometimes trigger anxiety. You can tell your child that they will be doing various activities, such as answering questions and solving problems.
In order to ensure optimal performance on the day of testing, make sure your child is well-rested and has eaten properly.
