Psychoeducational Assessment
What is it?
A psychoeducational assessment is a comprehensive evaluation for children, adolescents, and/or adults. This involves a thorough exploration of a person's use of verbal and nonverbal reasoning, memory, processing speed, academic performance, and how they’re feeling and engaging socially, emotionally, and behaviourally.
This type of assessment can be helpful for identifying a wide range of possible diagnoses, including Intellectual Disability, Specific Learning Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and other challenges related to mood and behavior. By taking this comprehensive approach, we're making sure that we have a deep understanding of you/your child, and are able to differentiate between different possible explanations for the challenges or questions you may be seeing.
What does the process involve?
Every assessment begins with an intake consultation and questionnaire.
First, we’ll set up an in-person or virtual meeting so that we can learn more about your situation and the questions you are hoping to answer through assessment. This gives you a chance to ask any questions you might have and make sure this is a good fit for you. This consultation takes about 30 minutes and is free of charge.
If you decide to proceed, you’ll be sent a secure online questionnaire to help us learn more about your/your child’s background, including medical, developmental, academic, social, emotional, behavioural, and cultural histories.
Then, we’ll discuss the next steps, and book times for a cognitive assessment, academic assessment, and any additional testing that may be needed. Sometimes we may have questionnaires for parents and/or teachers to fill out, but this would all be discussed first.
Once we have collected all the information we need, we work on interpreting and understanding the situation so we can answer the assessment questions. We prepare a report for you and we schedule a debrief meeting to go over the results. At that meeting, we go through the report together. We make sure there is plenty of time for any questions you might have. We also go over all the recommendations in order to ensure they make sense and are a good fit for your/your child’s situation. Once that meeting is done, we finalize the report and provide you with a signed copy.
How much does it cost?
A psychoeducational assessment costs a flat rate of $2,500. Payment is made at the end of the process, and can be processed through debit, credit, or e-transfer.
