Psychoeducational Testing provides in-depth information about
the child's intellectual ability, levels of academic achievement, language skills,
attention span, memory, visual-motor integration, and emotional & behavioral functioning.
It can help identify problems your child could be facing in specific academic
areas such as math, reading, writing & oral expression and determine if there
is a discrepancy between the child’s cognitive ability and the achievement
level at the time of the testing.
A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation is necessary to diagnose Learning Disabilities or
an Attention Disorder and helps parents better understand their child’s strengths
and weaknesses.
Reasons for a Psychoeducational Evaluation

and provide information to:

behavioral problem.
- Develop a treatment/intervention plan.
- Help the child succeed academically and socially.
- Make recommendations for Special Education, IEP, 504 plans.

- Understand the child's strengths and weaknesses.
