What is a Psychoeducational Assessment?
A psychoeducational assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that helps to understand how a child learns, thinks, and processes information. It’s often recommended when a child is struggling in school, showing signs of learning difficulties, or when parents and/or teachers want a clearer picture of a child’s strengths and challenges.
What Does It Involve?
The assessment includes a variety of activities and tests designed to understand how your child learns and processes information. It looks at areas such as:
Cognitive abilities (thinking and reasoning skills): How your child solves problems, remembers information, and focuses attention.
Academic skills: Reading, writing, spelling, and math.
Processing skills: How your child takes in and uses information—for example, listening, visual learning, and working speed.
Social and emotional factors: Feelings such as anxiety, frustration, or low confidence can affect learning, so these may be explored as well.
The process usually involves meeting with parents and sometimes teachers, doing one-on-one testing with the child, and reviewing background information like school reports.
Why is it Helpful?
The results give a clear picture of your child’s unique learning profile—where they shine and where they may need extra support. With this information, we can:
Identify learning disorders (such as dyslexia, ADHD, or other challenges).
Provide recommendations for school supports, accommodations, or strategies.
Guide parents and teachers in helping the child succeed both academically and emotionally.
What You Can Expect
Once the assessment is complete, you’ll receive a detailed written report and we'll have a feedback meeting to discuss the results. This gives you practical strategies to support your child’s learning and wellbeing.
What is an ADHD Assessment?
An ADHD assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that helps us understand your child’s attention, activity level, and self-regulation. It’s often recommended when a child has ongoing difficulties with focus, organization, impulsivity, or restlessness, and when parents or teachers want clarity about whether ADHD may be playing a role.
What Does It Involve?
The assessment combines different tools and sources of information to build a complete picture of your child’s strengths and challenges. It may include:
Interviews with parents (and sometimes teachers): To understand how your child manages daily life at home and at school.
Standardized questionnaires: Completed by parents and teachers to measure attention, impulsivity, and activity level.
Review of background information: Such as school reports, previous assessments, or medical history.
Why is it Helpful?
The results of an ADHD assessment provide clarity and direction. With this information, we can:
Determine whether ADHD is contributing to the difficulties your child is experiencing.
Identify other factors that may be involved.
Provide recommendations for supports and accommodations at school and at home.
Suggest practical strategies to help with focus, organization, and emotional wellbeing.
What You Can Expect
Once the assessment is complete, you’ll receive a detailed written report and we'll have a feedback meeting to discuss the results. This gives you a clear understanding of the results and practical steps for moving forward—whether that’s classroom accommodations, parenting strategies, or referrals for additional support if needed.
