Psychoeducational Evaluations
Students with learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and emotional disorders struggle with schoolwork and do not know how to overcome their difficulties. These learning differences can reduce confidence and self-esteem. A psychoeducational evaluation determines the appropriate treatment and accommodations for each student. With new strategies and support, students regain their sense of hope and mastery so that they can achieve their full potential. Psychoeducational evaluations are tailored to each individual and will measure ability, achievement, attention, and emotional factors, as well as auditory, visual, and motor processing as needed.
