Psychoeducational Assessment

Our Evaluation Services

We provide assessments to identify and diagnose a wide range of cognitive, learning, and emotional challenges, including:

IQ Testing

IQ testing provides a snapshot of a child’s overall cognitive abilities, including verbal reasoning, visual-spatial skills, memory, and processing speed. These results help identify learning strengths and support needs and can inform placement in gifted programs or help explain academic challenges.

Academic Achievement Testing (Reading, Writing, and Math)

Achievement testing measures current academic skills across key areas including reading fluency and comprehension, written expression, and math problem-solving. This type of evaluation helps determine whether a child is performing at, above, or below grade level expectations.

Learning Disability Evaluations (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia)

These evaluations identify specific learning disorders that impact reading (dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia), or math (dyscalculia). Testing explores how a child processes information and pinpoints where breakdowns occur, helping to guide targeted interventions and accommodations.

ADD/ADHD & Executive Function Testing

These evaluations assess attention, impulse control, working memory, and other executive function skills that are critical for focus, organization, and follow-through. Results can clarify whether symptoms are consistent with ADHD and guide recommendations for academic and behavioral support.

Social-Emotional and Behavioral Assessment

These assessments explore emotional functioning, behavior patterns, and social development. They can help identify concerns such as anxiety, depression, or behavioral dysregulation, and provide insight into how a child’s emotional well-being may be affecting learning or relationships.

Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE)

An IEE is a private evaluation conducted outside of the school district, often requested when families seek a second opinion or more comprehensive assessment. These evaluations can support special education eligibility decisions and provide detailed, unbiased recommendations for school-based support.

Frequently Asked Questions in Assessment Services

What is Psychoeducational Testing?

The comprehensive evaluation, also known as psychoeducational testing, examines cognitive abilities, learning, memory, academic performance, and processing skills like attention, executive functioning, visual-motor skills, and phonological processing. It identifies areas of difficulty and their causes, such as decoding weaknesses or attentional deficits. After a detailed intake, the clinician works one-on-one with the child, conducting tasks to assess intelligence, academics, memory, and attention. The evaluation also includes insights into the child's social, emotional, behavioral, and adaptive functioning through rating scales, observations, and, if needed, autism-specific assessments

Can you share insights about what happens during a psychoeducational assessment?

The assessment typically involves interviews, questionnaires, and standardized tests to evaluate cognitive abilities (like IQ), academic skills (reading, math, writing), memory, attention, emotional well-being, and social functioning. The psychologist will analyze the results to provide a comprehensive report.

What does the process of conducting a psychoeducational evaluation look like?

The process begins with a clinical interview, lasting 60 to 90 minutes, during which your concerns are discussed, referral questions are clarified, and goals are established. Based on these goals, the clinician selects the appropriate tests. Testing typically involves 1–3 sessions, each lasting 1–3 hours. The results are then analyzed, and a comprehensive evaluation report is prepared within 2–3 weeks. This report is provided during a feedback session, where the findings and recommendations are thoroughly reviewed

What is the age range of testing?

Our services include ADHD assessments for individuals aged 5 and up, extending into older adulthood. We also offer evaluations for learning disabilities, memory function, and neuropsychological concerns, tailored to those of school age through senior years.

Who should accompany the patient during the appointment?

For adults, it's helpful to have a family member or caregiver attend the first part of the appointment to provide background information. If they can't attend, the provider may contact them. For children and adolescents, a parent or caregiver must be present for the assessment and complete questionnaires. Parents wait outside during testing but should attend the feedback session to discuss the results.

What is cognitive testing?

Cognitive assessment evaluates mental abilities like memory, attention, and problem-solving through standardized tests. It helps identify strengths or weaknesses and can diagnose conditions like ADHD or learning disabilities, guiding treatment or accommodations

Do you offer gifted assessment?

Yes! We offer assessments for gifted and talented assessments for placements.

How soon can we expect the results from the assessment?

The report will be ready within 2 to 4 weeks from the assessment date.

How do I prepare for assessment?

Please complete the paperwork forms provided by the ERG staff and bring any relevant medical or psychiatric records related to attention or behavioral concerns, as well as educational records (such as current 504 plans, IEPs, or previous psycho-educational testing) to your first appointment. For the best experience, ensure you get a good night's sleep and eat a nutritious meal beforehand. Overall, this will be an interesting and rewarding experience.

When is testing helpful?

- If your child is underperforming in school and no diagnosis has been made.
- If you're hesitant to medicate your child for ADHD without objective evidence.
- When ADHD symptoms don’t improve with treatment and further diagnosis is needed.
- As an adult, if you suspect undiagnosed attention problems from childhood.
- If you have a neurological condition (e.g., TBI, stroke, MS, seizures) affecting your functioning.
- If you're concerned about memory or cognitive changes due to aging and want a baseline.
- For difficult-to-treat or understand mental health conditions.
- To better understand your personality and optimize functioning.
- To assess cognitive strengths and weaknesses for career guidance.
- Struggles with schoolwork, attention, or understanding new material.
- Difficulty problem-solving or decoding reading material.
- Poor memory or feeling overwhelmed by schoolwork.
- Procrastination, boredom, or misbehaving in class.
- Challenges with social skills or fitting in with others.

Should I take any medication before testing?

No, you should not take any medication on the day of the assessment. We want to gain an accurate understanding of baseline functionality.
