A Psychoeducational assessment evaluates how you or your child learns, thinks, and performs academically. It examines intelligence, academic achievement, memory, cognitive processes, and behaviours that impact learning.
Whether investigating academic struggles, attention issues, or learning strengths, this assessment offers clarity, a diagnosis if needed, and a roadmap for support.
At our clinic, every assessment is tailored to your specific needs. We analyze your learning profile to highlight strengths, challenges, and strategies to help you reach your potential.
Following the evaluation, we provide a comprehensive report and actionable recommendations to help you achieve success in your personal or professional life.
What does a psychoeducational assessment include?
Our assessments evaluate several key areas:
- Intellectual abilities (general cognitive functioning)
- Academic achievement (reading, writing, and math skills)
- Memory and learning processes
- Executive functioning skills (attention, planning, and organization)
- Behavioural and emotional factors impacting learning
We use standardized tests, interviews, and observations to create a comprehensive learning profile tailored to your needs.
Benefits of a psychoeducational assessment
A psychoeducational assessment offers many advantages, including:
- A clear understanding of learning strengths and challenges
- An accurate diagnosis of learning disabilities or other issues (if applicable)
- Personalized recommendations for learning strategies, accommodations, and supports
- Improved communication with teachers, schools, and support teams
- Empowerment to advocate for educational needs
Examples of how an assessment can help
A psychoeducational assessment can provide valuable insights for different situations:
ADHD support: If your child struggles with focus, completing homework, or sitting still in class, an assessment for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can clarify whether ADHD is impacting their learning. Recommendations may include classroom accommodations, behaviour strategies, or referrals for therapy.
Wellness and lifestyle balance: If ongoing stress or anxiety interferes with academic performance, the assessment can identify emotional or cognitive barriers to learning. We can recommend mindfulness practices, time management strategies, or counselling supports to promote wellness alongside academic success.
Anxiety and School Performance: If test anxiety, perfectionism, or worry are hindering a student, the assessment can illuminate the impact of anxiety on learning and performance. Recommendations include developing coping strategies to reduce stress in school environments.
Who should consider a psychoeducational assessment?
This assessment is helpful for individuals who may have:
- Specific Learning Disorder (in reading, writing, or math)
- Developmental Disability
- Gifted Learning Profile (identifying unique strengths and enrichment needs)
- Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
What happens after the assessment?
Once the assessment is complete, we’ll schedule a follow-up meeting to:
- Review the findings in a clear, accessible way
- Provide a diagnosis (if applicable)

- Offer tailored recommendations for academic support, accommodations, and next steps
