Our comprehensive psycho-educational evaluation process typically includes both an educator and a psychologist.  The focus of the evaluation is to develop an accurate picture of a child's cognitive and educational strengths and weaknesses. Based on this information, our clinicians then develop an intervention plan that will assist teachers and parents in maximizing learning opportunities and academic success.

An Intake is the initial meeting for the parents and either the educator or the psychologist.  This 1-hour discussion allows us to gather information about a child's developmental history and academic progress, as well as review the family's concerns.    At that time, we can make formal assessment recommendations or suggestions for other school and community services.     

If a psycho-educational assessment is recommended, a number of testing sessions may be scheduled with members of our clinical team.  Typically, both the educator and the psychologist complete standardized and other formal testing measures.  

When the testing is complete, parents meet with both the educator and psychologist for an Interpretive Parent Conference (IPC).  The team provides the results of the testing and a detailed explanation of what the results mean.  The analysis includes the child's learning profile, identification of strengths, weaknesses and any learning disabilities, as well as  specific recommendations.  At the conclusion of the meeting, parents receive a brief written summary.  Following the IPC, a detailed report is compiled and delivered to the family. 

As needed, we can attend school and community meetings.  We will work with families on an ongoing basis beyond the evaluation process.  Families can contact us to answer follow-up questions and provide additional recommendations.
