Understanding Cognitive & Academic Functioning
Psychoeducational Evaluations
When a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation isn’t necessary, a psychoeducational evaluation provides valuable insights into intelligence and academic functioning.
Ideal for establishing school levels, progress monitoring independent of schools, school entrance exams or addressing basic academic questions.
What is a Psychoeducational Evaluation?
A psychoeducational evaluation focuses on assessing an individual’s cognitive and academic abilities.
It’s designed to answer specific questions about intelligence, academic strengths and weaknesses, and overall educational needs.
This type of evaluation is often sufficient when a full neuropsychological assessment is not required.
