Students of all ages can struggle with the academic demands of school, but a psychoeducational evaluation can both determine if a learning disorder is present and connect you to the resources that will help! Our licensed clinical psychologists help parents better understand their child’s strengths and challenges, empowering them to advocate for the interventions and accommodations essential to success.
We specialize in comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations to address questions about a child’s learning, as well as emotional and behavioral functioning. Our assessors are adept at creating a warm and engaging environment. We find children actually really enjoy the one-on-one attention they receive during testing sessions. We use an evidence-based approach to create detailed reports with individualized recommendations.
All evaluations through the Schafer Center start with an initial conversation. A psychologist will listen to your concerns and possibly review previous testing to determine if an evaluation is the best next step. If determined to be appropriate, the level of assessment will also be discussed before scheduling.
