Comprehensive Evaluation
A comprehensive
psychoeducational evaluation takes approximately 5-6 hours to
administer. The assessment includes cognitive (intelligence) testing,
perceptual processing tests and in-depth academic skills testing. The
following is a list of test batteries used in this evaluation.
All but one are standardized tests and are used in public and private
school settings, as well as in clinical settings. Please note
that not all subtests from
every battery are administered, and not all of these batteries are
appropriate for all students. Instead, we determine what tests will
provide us with the type of information we need to understand a
student's learning abilities and needs.
- Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children
(Fourth Edition)
- Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Third

Note: If there are concerns
about a student's attention, concentration,
organization or activity level, then the Conners' rating scales are
utilized. This information does not allow for a formal diagnosis of
AD/HD, which requires a medical evaluation and diagnosis. However, it
provides information that is helpful to a psychiatrist who may be
working with the individual.
