Psychoeducational assessments are used to diagnose, set goals, and suggest treatment by collecting information about an individual’s academic and cognitive abilities, behaviour, and needs.
A Teen may benefit from an assessment when they are…
Struggling with academic concepts and material, especially when they were previously doing well
Struggling significantly in one area of learning (such as reading, writing, or mathematics), especially compared to other areas of performance.
Having difficulty displaying age -or context- appropriate behaviour
Having difficulty getting along with peers or school staff
Experiencing high levels of anxiety or worry regarding learning and success
Displaying signs of school refusal, or avoidance around homework or learning tasks
Taking a significant amount of time to complete academic work, or quickly running out of energy during work periods, leading to excessive amounts of homework
An assessment can take the guesswork out of understanding your teen and their cognitive and academic abilities.
