Psychoeducational evaluations
Unlock potential, uncover strengths, and overcome challenges
A clearer path to your child’s success
Is your child finding it hard to keep up at school, struggling with friendships, or showing signs of stress and frustration? A psychoeducational evaluation can help uncover what’s going on and give you clear, practical steps forward.
Who this is for
While we assess adults as well, our focus is on children and teens, ages 6-18. These assessments use evidence-based tests and tools to identify cognitive, learning, and emotional factors that may be affecting a child or teen’s academic performance, behaviour, or wellbeing.
How evaluations are conducted
Through a mix of interviews, questionnaires, and standardised testing, we can better understand how your child learns, thinks, and copes day to day. Assessments may look at:
Planning, attention, and organisation
Intellectual ability
Reading, writing, and maths
Emotional regulation
Behaviour and social interactions
What evaluations can reveal
Through the process, we can provide formal diagnoses or insights related to:
Specific learning disorders (e.g. dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia)
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Giftedness (e.g. for entry into gifted programs)
Anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns
Intellectual disability or impairment
Other psychosocial conditions
What the process looks like
The process usually takes several sessions over about a month and includes:
Initial interview
We'll talk with parents and the student about what the student is struggling with.
2 clinical assessment sessions
In these sessions, the student will complete a series of tests and activities.
Input from parents and teachers
To get a complete picture on the student from multiple perspectives, we'll ask parents and teachers to fill in some online questionnaires.
Briefing session
Then we'll walk through the final report and recommendations together.
The evaluation report
You’ll receive a detailed written report that explains the results, provides any diagnoses, and offers tailored recommendations for home and school.
We can also arrange customised assessments (such as ADHD-only or IQ-only testing) for specific requests.
