What Is A Psycho-Educational Assessment? How Will It Help?
A psycho-educational assessment usually involves a person completing a cognitive assessment and an academic assessment. Sometimes it also includes measuring other aspects like how a person is doing socially, emotionally, or behaviourally. A psycho-educational assessment usually involves a series of appointments and includes gathering background information, one-on-one testing with the client, the psychologist writing a report, and sharing information with clients.
Parents, teachers, and even adult learners sometimes seek a psycho-educational assessment in order to better understand factors that can affect how a person learns. People might get a psycho-educational assessment done to answer the following kinds of questions:
- Is there a learning disability?
- Is my child gifted?
- Do I/does my child have ADHD?
- Why is my child struggling in school?
- Why can’t I/my child remember things?
- What will help my child do better in school?
- What supports or accommodations do I need in college or university?
With a psycho-educational assessment, a person’s current learning profile is identified and then recommendations are made. The recommendations include things the person can do for themselves (e.g., strategies, counseling), what parents can do, and what the school or college or university can do to make life better and easier.
