why might a student complete a psychoeducational assessment?
- To determine if they would benefit from learning support services
- To investigate cognitive/intellectual or processing strengths and weaknesses
- To investigate suspected learning difficulties or to identify Specific Learning Disorders in reading, writing, or mathematics (i.e., dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia)
- To examine difficulties with attention, executive functioning, or social-emotional functioning
- For reassessment of educational programming and/or for taking external exams (e.g., IBDP, SAT)
