What is a Psycho-Educational Assessment?

A psycho-educational assessment is an evaluation of intellectual, academic, behaviour, and/or adaptive skills. A typical assessment highlights strengths, areas of difficulty and provides recommendations.

I will help identify how you or your child learns, thinks, and manages emotions to support academic and personal success. 

Clarity in Learning. Confidence in Next Steps. 

Through Accredited Practice Endorsement (APE), a diagnosis of a Specific Learning Disorder (e.g., dyslexia), ADHD, or an Intellectual Disability can be made. In addition, a psycho-educational assessment may also screen for speech and language difficulties, or developmental disorders.

What are the Benefits of a Psycho-Educational Assessment? 

Your child may benefit from a psycho-educational assessment if they are struggling with academic achievement, behaviour, or with planning, organization, and completion of homework. Results of a psycho-educational assessment may assist parents and educators in developing appropriate interventions and/or programming at home and at school.

Post-secondary students and adults may also benefit from a psycho-educational assessment. If you are experiencing learning difficulties, a psycho-educational assessment may allow for accommodations (e.g., access to lecture notes) at the post-secondary level.
