Psychoeducational Evaluations

A psychoeducational evaluation determines if your child has a learning disability or other issues that negatively impact his or her ability to learn. It assesses the child’s cognitive (intellectual) abilities, academic achievement levels, information processing abilities, and general emotional and behavioral issues. The evaluation includes emotional and behavioral functioning, and their impact on the child’s academic skills. A child with special education services is evaluated at least every 3 years to determine continued eligibility for services. If you suspect your child has a disability affecting his or her education, you may request a psychoeducational evaluation to be completed by the school district.

I use a variety of tests and techniques that best fit that particularity of the studetn including the Cattell-Horn-Carroll’s (CHC) theory of cognitive abilities. CHC is regarded as the most validated model of intelligence, with years of research and review.
