The purpose of a psycho-educational evaluation is to determine if there are any difficulties with your child's school/academic skills. A psycho-educational evaluation also will provide information regarding your child's strengths and weaknesses.

The psycho-educational evaluation includes the following:

1. Initial Intake session to gain a better understanding of the current concerns, the child's history, the family, and complete necessary paperwork to begin the evaluative process.
2. Intelligence Testing (IQ).
3. Academic Achievement Testing.
4. Academic Fluency and Speed Testing.
5. Verbal feedback of the results will take place within 24 hours of testing.
6. A written report is provided within two weeks at the parent feedback session.

When coming for a psycho-educational evaluation, approximately 2-2 hour appointments should be allotted. While all of the time may not be needed, Dr. Schneider will make sure your child has an opportunity to use the rest room or take a break if needed. For best performance your child should be well-rested and has had breakfast or a snack.
