Psycho-Educational Assessments
Psycho-Educational Assessments, or Learning Assessments, are an essential tool that can help identify and understand learning difficulties in children. With a primary focus on assessing intellectual functioning and academic achievement, these assessments can uncover specific learning disorders that may go undetected, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia.
If you suspect that your child is falling behind or struggling with reading and writing, a Psycho-Educational Assessment can provide insights that can identify the root cause of the problem and enable your child to get the additional classroom support they need. These assessments are a vital step in ensuring that your child gets the education they need and deserve to succeed.
