Trouble Adjusting to College or Work?
Psychoeducational Assessment Can Help you understand and Thrive
Learn what might be causing you or your young adult child to struggle in college or an early work career. A thorough evaluation of intellectual skills, academic functioning, behavioral issues, and mood can help determine if a learning disability or some other issue is preventing success.
Sometimes the issue is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or a Learning Disability such as dyslexia interfering with the ability to take new information in. Other times it may be an emotional issue, like depression or anxiety, that is limiting a person. Nowadays emotional health is especially important as all of us are struggling with the issues brought on by the COVID pandemic.
This is why a comprehensive psychoeducational assessment with doctors who understand these conditions and how to work with colleges and universities is essential.
What is a Psychoeducational Assessment?
A comprehensive evaluation that can help you or your young adult child learn what might be causing struggles with academics. A thorough evaluation of intellectual skills, academic functioning, social skills, behavioral issues, and mood can help determine if a learning disability or some other issue is preventing you or your young adult child from succeeding.
Good evaluations will describe intellectual and academic strengths and weaknesses, as well as social and emotional needs. Good evaluations will help with understanding the effects of learning disabilities, ADHD, brain injury, or illnesses that may contribute to their difficulties. Good evaluations will make suggestions in clear, non-technical language about what services and accommodations would be helpful in the school or work setting. A good evaluator will provide support and collaboration services to help you in interacting with the college or university, including explaining the various ways in both private and public universities and colleges to get support.
