PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT TORONTO

​

A psychoeducational assessment can help to identify areas of strength and challenge in an individual’s learning profile and can provide a deeper understanding of the underlying cause of their academic struggles. At Royal York Psychology we provide psychoeducational assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. A psychoeducational assessment will measure an individual’s intellectual, academic, visual-spatial, memory, attention, language, executive functioning, processing speed, and social/emotional functioning. A psychoeducational assessment is often necessary for appropriate identification within educational settings and can provide specific recommendations that support learning (e.g., assistive technology, extra time for tests, memory aids, etc.).  The assessment is performed by a qualified practitioner who is committed to helping an individual gain a better understanding of their learning profile. Reports are geared toward schools, colleges, and universities.
