A psychoeducational evaluation involves a battery of tests that assess the whole person. This may include, but is not limited to, cognitive testing, which measures a person’s intellectual abilities and potential; achievement testing, which assesses academic skills in areas like reading, writing, and math; and diagnostic testing, which can identify learning disabilities, ADHD, or other challenges that may be impacting an individual.
Compassionate Solutions’ testing professionals are fully credentialed and have many years of experience conducting assessments for individuals of all ages.
Given that every individual is unique, the evaluation that we provide is tailored specifically to each client.
Typically a full psycho-educational evaluation will require 6 to 7 hours working directly with the student or adult and then another several hours scoring the assessments, interpreting the assessment data, writing the report, and compiling appropriate recommendations. Once the report is finished, a follow-up meeting is scheduled to go over test results and answer questions. The entire process is completed over a period of 3 to 4 weeks from the first testing session.
School Neuropsychological assessments are also available. This is a more in-depth evaluation of issues such as severe emotional deficit, traumatic brain injury, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
