Objective
The objective of a comprehensive psychoeducational assessment conducted by a Licensed Educational Psychologist is multifaceted, aiming to gather a thorough understanding of an individual's learning profile and related factors. Here are the key objectives:
1. Assess Cognitive Functioning: Measure intellectual abilities (IQ) to understand cognitive strengths and weaknesses that may impact learning and academic achievement.
2. Evaluate Psychological Processing: Assess specific psychological processes such as auditory processing, visual-perceptual skills, and visual-motor integration to identify how these factors contribute to learning difficulties.
3. Identify Learning Strengths and Weaknesses: Assess academic skills in areas such as reading, writing, math, and oral language to identify strengths and weaknesses.
4. Identify Learning Disabilities and Disorders: Determine if there are specific learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia, dyscalculia) or developmental disorders (e.g., ADHD) affecting the individual's learning and academic performance.
5. Understand Social-Emotional and Behavioral Functioning: Evaluate social-emotional functioning and behavioral patterns to assess how these factors may influence academic performance and adjustment in school settings.
6. Recommend Interventions and Support Strategies: Provide recommendations for educational interventions, accommodations, and strategies to support the individual's learning needs and foster academic success.
Overall, the comprehensive psychoeducational assessment aims to provide a detailed understanding of the individual's learning strengths, weaknesses, and related factors to guide educational interventions and promote academic achievement and overall well-being.
