The purpose of a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation is to help students and families gain a better understanding of an individual’s cognitive and learning profile and how the profile impacts learning and education. The evaluation seeks to clarify the presence of a learning disability (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, nonverbal learning disability) or other disability (ADHD, Autism, Emotional or Behavioral Disorder, Intellectual Disability).

The scope of the evaluation is individually determined to address the presenting concerns and may include assessment of global and specific cognitive and learning-related processes, executive functions, academic skill development, and social, emotional, and behavioral functioning. The results are interpreted within the context of the individual's developmental, health, school history, personal background, and experiences, as well as and information gathered through clinical observations and parent input, and (when appropriate) school-based observations and teacher input.

The evaluation also provides recommendations relevant to programming, instruction, interventions, and supports which can help guide educational decision-making. Evaluations for school-based purposes are also interpreted within the context of the eligibility criteria outlined within the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). 

The standard rate for an evaluation is $2500, but may be higher or lower depending on the scope of the evaluation. The exact cost is determined before the evaluation begins.

If the cost of the evaluation presents a barrier, a sliding scale is available. Please reach out to me for more information.
