Psychoeducational Testing
What Is A Psychoeducational Assessment?
A psychoeducational assessment is a detailed and formal evaluation that measures cognitive abilities, academic skills, and other factors that influence learning and performance. Using standardized, evidence-based tools, we gather information about:
Cognitive abilities (IQ testing)
Academic achievement (reading, writing, math skills)
Social, Emotional, and Behavioural Functioning (ex. attention, hyperactivity, mood )
The results provide a comprehensive understanding of how someone learns, processes information, and interacts with their environment.
The Psychoeducational Assessment Process + What to Expect
A psychoeducational assessment begins with a meeting with a Registered Psychologist or Registered Provisional Psychologist to discuss your developmental, medical, and learning history. Any previous assessment reports will also be reviewed. Then, you will come to the office for at least two separate one-on-one testing sessions to measure cognitive and academic skills. Rating scales will be completed and often involve someone who knows you well.
Once all information is gathered, a meeting is scheduled to review results and discuss recommendations. You will receive a comprehensive written report and tailored recommendations, and these recommendations will be very specific to you.
At the end of the assessment process, you’ll walk away with a greater understanding of your strengths and struggles and how to plan for support moving forward.
