​

Educational or Psychoeducational Assessment is used to evaluate a child or adult's intellectual abilities, academic achievements, learning potential, identify giftedness, diagnose or rule out learning difficulties and/or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD / ADD), and to evaluate the need for academic

or occupational accommodations. The Educational or Neuropsychologist should provide

a thorough evaluation of each of these areas as well as a screening or evaluation of

a child's or adult's psychological functioning. Assessing psychological factors that relate

to learning is necessary to determine whether factors other than learning disorders or

ADHD are responsible for learning problems.

​

An Educational or Psychoeducational Assessment identifies problems such as a Reading Disorder

or Math Disorder, Disorder of Written Expression, Auditory Processing Disorder, ADHD / ADD, 

executive functioning disorder, processing disorder, and others. These types of evaluations

are also conducted for kindergarten / school readiness and private school entry, as well as

to obtain test accommodations for college, graduate school, law school, or medical school

entrance exams (ACT, SAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT).
