ABOUT PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS
Psychoeducational assessments identify areas of strength and weakness in a student’s learning profile and answer questions concerning cognitive, academic, social, emotional, behavioural and adaptive functioning.
These assessments are typically conducted on students of all ages, from young children to adults (Kindergarten to Grade 12). They are also frequently used to help adults in post-secondary institutions.
Psychoeducational assessments screen for the following:
- Learning Disorders (i.e., reading (dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia) and mathematics (dyscalculia))
- ADHD
- Anxiety/Depression
- Intellectual Disabilities
- Behavioural Challenges
- Emotional Dysregulation
- Speech & Language Delays
- Executive Functioning Deficits
- Fine and Gross Motor Impairment.

- Questionnaires and rating scales completed by multiple sources (i.e., client, parent/guardian, teachers)
