Psychoeducational Assessment

Psychoeducational Assessment for ADHD and Other Mental Health Concerns

If you have worries about your child’s academic progress, suspect ADHD, or were advised by a physician or educator to undergo a psycho-educational evaluation, you likely have many questions about the process. Our clinic will assist both you and your child in navigating the evaluation, which may involve reviewing school and medical records, speaking with teachers and school counselors, and consulting with your child’s physician. Psychoeducational testing can also aid college or graduate students experiencing academic difficulties, to determine if they have an undiagnosed learning disability or ADHD.

Psychoeducational Testing provides information regarding:

• • Assessing Child’s Learning Style, Academic Abilities & Behaviors:
  • Analyzing learning style, strengths & weaknesses

  • Measuring memory, reasoning, and problem-solving abilities
