A psychoeducational assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that examines how a person learns, thinks, and processes information. It is designed to understand a student’s cognitive abilities, academic achievement, and emotional or behavioural functioning in order to identify strengths, challenges, and any underlying learning difficulties.
These assessments are commonly used to diagnose:
- Learning disabilities
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Giftedness
- Intellectual or developmental delays
- Emotional or behavioural issues affecting academic performance
The goal is to gain a full understanding of a person’s learning profile and provide individualized recommendations for school, home, or work settings.
