What is a Psychoeducational Assessment?
A psychoeducational assessment is a thorough evaluation of an individual’s cognitive, academic, and behavioural functioning.
This type of assessment is used to identify learning difficulties, intellectual disabilities, developmental delays, or behavioural challenges that may affect a person’s academic or everyday functioning. It can help diagnose conditions such as learning disorders (e.g., dyslexia), ADHD, and other developmental issues.
By assessing a person’s cognitive and academic skills, a psychoeducational assessment provides a clear picture of their learning profile, which can be used to develop tailored support strategies at school, work, or home.
How Our Psychoeducational Assessments Can Help You
Our psychoeducational assessments are designed to evaluate a wide range of cognitive and educational challenges, providing essential information for parents, teachers, and individuals to understand learning needs and plan for success. We assess:
» Learning Disorders (e.g., Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia): Identifying specific learning difficulties that impact reading, writing, or mathematics.
» Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Evaluating attentional challenges, impulsivity, and hyperactivity that affect academic performance.
» Intellectual Disabilities: Assessing cognitive abilities to determine if intellectual delays are impacting educational or daily functioning .
» Developmental Delays: Identifying developmental milestones and challenges in younger children.
» Giftedness: Identifying areas of advanced intellectual ability to support students who may benefit from enriched or accelerated learning environments.
» Academic Performance: Measuring reading, writing, and mathematical abilities to determine whether academic progress aligns with age or grade expectations.
Psychoeducational assessments offer valuable insights into an individual’s cognitive and learning profile, helping to identify underlying issues that may be affecting academic or personal success.
