Educational Insight specializes in psychoeducational evaluations of children and young adults, ages 4 to 23 years. From kindergarten readiness to college graduation, we highlight strengths and give recommendations for overcoming obstacles. We help parents select a school that meets their child’s needs, receive services with their current school or locate professionals working privately with children. We have extensive experience working with private tutors, psychotherapist, psychiatrists, pediatricians, physical and occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and other professionals. We believe that everyone has areas of strengths and accomplishment, and we are dedicated to helping young people overcome obstacles and realize their full potential.
Children and adolescents often need evaluations primarily for educational purposes. Many schools require intelligence and academic achievement testing as part of their admissions process. Programs for gifted and talented student also require testing. Finally, parents may wish to explore the possibility of a learning disability, attention problem or emotional problem that has impacted on school performance. We are available to evaluate intelligence, academic skills, attention, emotional functioning, adaptive skills and vocational interest.
A comprehensive evaluation can help you:
- Appreciate your child’s strengths and talents
- Pinpoint areas of career interest for adolescents / young adults
- Understand the nature of your child’s problems
- Learn parenting skills to address these issues
- Determine if a referral to professional assistance is appropriate
- Make appropriate school placement decisions.
