Examiners will administer a group of tests to determine how your student learns. These assessments often include verbal or visual tests to examine verbal and nonverbal reasoning, certain types of memory, and the speed at which your student processes and responds to information.
Is a psychoeducational assessment worth it?
Psychoeducational testing is a investment, both financially and in terms of time and emotional energy.
