Psychoeducational Assessment
Psychoeducational assessment is a comprehensive battery of tests that measures intellectual abilities, academic achievement, language, adaptive skills, and social-emotional functioning. Results of standardized tests, combined with observations and background information, are used to detect learning differences, specific learning disorders, developmental disorders, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and other conditions. These assessment results are useful for developing educational plans and are often used to obtain accommodations in school and on standardized tests, as well as determining a student’s eligibility for special education services.
