Psychoeducational Evaluation & IEP Testing in New York
Psycho-educational testing refers to the cognitive and achievement measures used to analyze the mental processes underlying your child’s educational performance. They assess constructs such as intelligence, reading, writing and math abilities or disabilities. Learning disabilities are a neurological group of disorders that impact how one acquires and retain new information. Experts identify them by one of three approaches; the ability-achievement discrepancy, response to intervention, and a pattern of strengths and weaknesses.

We can diagnose Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, and other lesser known learning disabilities with precision and confidence, so you can thrive in school, at any age.
What Is a Psychoeducational Evaluation?
A psychoeducational evaluation is a specialized form of psychological assessment that focuses on how a student learns and performs in school. These evaluations help identify challenges that may affect academic skills, attention, memory, or emotional well-being.
Our licensed clinical team conducts evidence-based psychological testing to understand how different cognitive abilities function together. Information on behavioral and emotional functioning helps determine whether a student may benefit from school support services such as an IEP or other accommodation plans.
Psychoeducational diagnosis may help identify:
- ADHD or attention difficulties such as distractibility and impulsivity
- Learning disabilities and academic challenges affecting reading, writing, or math
- Social or behavioral challenges including repetitive behaviors
- Emotional concerns such as irritability or panic attacks
- Differences in social communication or emotional development
These insights allow families and educators to develop targeted strategies that support learning and build long-term resilience.
