Educational Assessments

What is a
psycho-educational assessment?

A psycho-educational assessment helps you understand how you or your child learns. It looks at how the brain processes information including reasoning, memory and problem-solving. It examines academic skills such as reading, writing and math.

What can it tell me?

These assessments can identify learning differences, such as:

  • Reading difficulties (Dyslexia)

  • Writing difficulties (Dysgraphia)

  • Math difficulties (Dyscalculia)

  • Attention or focus challenges (ADHD)

  • Cognitive delays (Intellectual Developmental Disorder)

How can an assessment
help me?

The goal of an assessment is to understand what might be making learning harder and to provide clear, practical recommendations to support success at school and at home.

How long does an assessment take?

An assessment typically takes 5-6 hours in-person to complete. Assessments are typically divided into 2 or 3 shorter sessions, but full day sessions can be requested. A full assessment takes about 15 hours to complete which includes time for scoring, interpretation, interviewing, reviewing documentation, and report writing.
