Psychoeducational Evaluations
If your child is struggling with behaviors in the classroom or academically, the school may recommend, or you may wish to seek out, a psychoeducational evaluation.
Reasons for an evaluation may include:
trouble learning to read
not understanding what they read
not understanding math facts
difficulty with spelling
trouble writing a sentence or paragraph
lots of difficulty completing homework
frequently getting in trouble at school
An evaluation can help you to highlight your child’s areas of strength and know which areas of weakness to target.
Psychoeducational evaluations are also conducted as a part of requests for accommodations in school or on standardized tests, such as the ACT/SAT, GRE, LSAT, or MCAT.
If you suspect your child has a Learning Disorder (e.g., Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia) or learning differences, a psychoeducational evaluation may be beneficial to better understand your child’s needs in the school environment.
