Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Assessments

  • A psychoeducational assessment focuses on learning and cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and academic skills (reading, writing, math). A psychological assessment looks at emotional, social, and behavioral well-being to better understand challenges like anxiety, depression, or behavioral difficulties. Sometimes both types of assessments are recommended for a full picture.

  • If you or your child are struggling with learning, focusing, or keeping up in school despite putting in effort, a psychoeducational assessment can help identify underlying learning differences, such as ADHD or a learning disability, and provide strategies to support success.
