Psychological/Educational

Psychological Evaluation reports are often used in meetings with academic professionals to determine appropriate school placement and accommodations.

These include the Individualized Education Program (IEPs), the 504 Plan, or extended time on standardized tests such as the SAT and the ACT. This type of assessment is also critical to the work of healthcare professionals for treatment purposes for gaining insight into a child’s level of cognitive functioning, perceptual abilities, and emotional and behavioral struggles.
