A psycho-educational assessment provides information about an individual's cognitive, academic, behavioral/emotional (and adaptive) functioning. It can uncover issues that impact learning, as well as provide individualized recommendations and strategies for success. Testing varies depending on the individual and their specific needs.
We are not able to guarantee the outcome of an assessment. If the results meet diagnostic criteria, a diagnosis may be made. Diagnoses can include an Intellectual Disability, Giftedness, Specific Learning Disorders (reading, written expression and/or math), ADHD (predominantly Hyperactive/Impulsive, predominantly Inattentive, or Combined Presentation), and/or Oppositional Defiant Disoder. If further assessment is needed outside of the psychologist's scope of practice, appropriate referrals and recommendations will be made.
Whether a diagnosis is made or not, the information can be used to identify the individual’s specific areas of strength and weakness, as well as the supports and services required to achieve success in both the school and home settings. Examples of specialized supports include individualized programming, assistive technology, extra time, and many other accommodations. Assessment reports are often required to access certain services funded by the province or school boards.
