EVALUATIONS
Comprehensive Psychoeducational Evaluation
Aids in identifying issues related to school performance and achievement. This evaluation might assess a child’s overall intellectual ability, processing, and academic achievement, as well as any possible behavioral concerns. Evaluations begin with an in-depth intake interview to discuss concerns along with background and developmental history. This is a 60 minute session and can be held in person in our office, or via video call.
Individual testing of the child’s academics, processing, and intellectual ability will take place in person in our Tampa office. Testing measures can take 3-5 hours to complete and are typically done on the same day. However, if preferred, these sessions can be split. When necessary, standardized rating scales are provided to the parent, teacher, and, when applicable, the child, to assess various behaviors.
Psychoeducational evaluations include a comprehensive written report and a 45 minute feedback session with the parent or guardian to discuss results and recommendations. Guidance on navigating the special education process in the public school system can also be offered.
