Educational Evaluations and Assessments |
|
|
An
Educational or Learning Evaluation
includes an assessment of the
client’s intellectual abilities and
basic academic skills, and typically
includes 2 to 4 hours of formal
testing. An educational evaluation
usually provides enough information
to identify specific learning
strengths, disabilities and
differences, and can provide
recommendations for very general
learning support and accommodations.
The areas addressed in
an individual's evaluation are determined by
the referral question, client's (or parent)
concerns, and observations
made during interview and test
administration. Some abilities may be
measured in more detail than others,
depending upon the client's individual
needs. |

Learning
Disabilities |
|
|
Learning disabilities generally fall
into the three basic academic
skill-sets: reading (dyslexia),
writing (dysgraphia), and math
(dyscalculia). We provide
Educational Evaluations that assess
any of the three areas.
This
option is best when other
neuro-cogntiive processes are being,
or have already been, ruled out. |

Many
private schools require current
cognitive testing (Wechsler Scales:
WPPSI-IV, WISC-IV, WAIS-IV) as part
of their application requirement.
We are dedicated to providing a
relaxing environment that helps put
your child at ease in order to
maximize accurate results. |

What an Educational Evaluation does not
assess:
Educational evaluations do not typically
assess underlying neuro-cognitive
processes such as attention and
concentration, executive functioning,
sensory and motor difficulties,
inductive and deductive reasoning
skills, and speed of processing, as well
as specificity of learning style and the
emotional components that impact of
these areas and learning.
A neuropsychological
evaluation examines the underlying
neurocognitive processes that contribute
to specific learning challenges, as well
as the strengths that can be used to
compensate for such challenges, in order
to provide comprehensive,
client-specific recommendations for
intervention. |
