Whether you're a student struggling to keep up in school, a parent seeking answers for your child, or an adult looking to clarify long-standing challenges, this process can provide meaningful insights. These evaluations explore patterns of strengths and weaknesses across academic skills such as reading, writing, and math, and examine related cognitive abilities. The goal is to clarify whether a learning difference—a specific learning disorder—is present.

Importantly, a psychoeducational evaluation can serve as a gateway to appropriate support. For individuals seeking academic accommodations or special education services, the findings help determine eligibility and guide recommendations tailored to the learner’s needs. Testing may be conducted in both standard and modified conditions, such as with extended time, to better understand the circumstances under which a student performs best.

In most cases, the psychoeducational assessment is part of a more comprehensive neuropsychological or psychodiagnostic assessment so as to support requests for formal accommodations.
