About
A psychoeducational assessment can help you to better understand how you or your child learn. It looks at how the brain processes information. For example: Do you learn better using pictures or words? How much information can you hold in your working memory at one time? How quickly do you complete simple tasks? This information can help you understand why learning or behavioural issues are happening, and what to do about them.
After a decade doing assessments, we prefer to take a therapeutic approach to assessments. We are trying to find out how you learn best and how to apply that to your life, school, home, work, relationships, etc. When we discuss the results of an assessment, we focus on what the results really mean and how to best capitalize on strengths in different settings so you have the best chance at success, while working with your weaknesses.
Learning and Attention Limitations?
By understanding what kind of learner you are, or your child is, you can better ask for and seek strategies and accommodations for success. Once you know your learning style you can develop strategies and coping skills to be successful and develop confidence in yourself.
The Process
The process typically looks like this:
- First Appointment: Your first session will include an initial interview to gather background information, history, and current concerns.
- Interview/Assessment: You will take individually-chosen standardized assessment measures and the therapist will perform an individualized interview to best explore the difficulties you experience.
- Interpretation and Report Writing: The therapist will review the results of your interviews and assessment measures are interpreted, and write a report to outline the results and to provide recommendations.
- Results Meeting: We will sit together and discuss what the results mean, and how that applies to your life and to your learning. You will leave with goals and next steps for supports at home, work, or other aspects of your life.
- Next Steps: Your therapist will make recommendations to give you a plan and guidelines about what supports will work best for you. You may find follow-up counselling is suggested and can be scheduled with ACS.
