We also conduct psychoeducational assessments with children and adolescents. These types of assessments are useful when a child is having problems in school or there is concern for how a child is learning. The evaluation can be instrumental not only in providing diagnostic clarity and determining an individual’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses but also in formulating recommendations for educational and/or treatment planning.
An assessment involves a number of meetings, including a parent intake session to gather background information, two student testing sessions, and a parent feedback session. With parent permission, we also consult with school teams and treatment professionals for additional information. After all assessment data is gathered, a comprehensive written report detailing assessment results, conclusions, and recommendations, is provided during a feedback session. The following are a list of difficulties a child or adolescent might have and for which a family might seek our assessment services:
- Learning concerns, including academic difficulties in reading, writing or mathematics
- Attention difficulties, including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD)
- Executive Functioning concerns
- Language or processing difficulties
- Anxiety
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Selective Mutism
- Mood concerns, including Depression
Please note that we do not provide assessment services for diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder, for forensic issues, or for court proceedings (e.g., custody evaluations). If you require these services, or anticipate that these may be needed, we will be happy to refer you to appropriate professionals.
