Unlocking Your Child’s Learning Potential
Your child may be struggling in school for a whole host of reasons. Perhaps your child has an undetected learning difference, such as ADHD, dyslexia, or dyscalculia (a learning disability in math), that’s at the root of the problem. There may also be a social or emotional problem stemming from school that’s hampering their success.
A psychoeducational assessment at The Assessment Center at Learning Lab identifies your child’s strengths and challenges and results in individualized recommendations for supports and strategies that can be implemented at home and at school.
What Is A Psychoeducational Assessment?
A psychoeducational assessment consists of a battery of standardized and interactive tests that help to determine overall learning strengths and weaknesses and provide detailed insights into how an individual thinks in key areas such as:
- Problem-solving
- Academic skills
- Social and emotional functioning
We see clients from the age of three all the way to adulthood. Click here to learn about our adult assessment services.
An assessment may identify a diagnosable learning difference which could be the cause of a problem. It may also help determine appropriate learning strategies and interventions, or guide educational placement decisions. Ultimately, its main purpose is to help our clients more fully understand their overall functioning and determine what supports may be necessary for promoting their academic and life success.
Assessment Follow Up
Several weeks after testing, you will receive a comprehensive in-person consultation with the examiner, as well as a detailed written report of the entire assessment. The Assessment Center at Learning Lab’s staff clinicians provide recommendations and help you understand the best follow-up steps.
From this information you are better able to:
- Develop realistic academic expectations
- Find a “best fit” academic environment
- Rule out a learning difference, ADHD, and processing problems
- Clarify the most helpful ways to support your child’s learning
- Determine need for extra academic support or school accommodations
This comprehensive review and assessment is an invaluable road map for your child’s future, helping you and your child’s teachers highlight strengths and overcome any challenges.
