Psycho-educational Evaluations

Struggling in school can be frustrating, whether you're a student, a parent seeking answers, or an adult who has faced learning challenges for years. At The Center for Precious Minds, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to understand their unique learning style and reach their full potential.

We provide comprehensive psycho-educational evaluations for adolescents ages 11 and older, college students, and adults. Our evaluations are designed to identify strengths, clarify learning and attention challenges, and provide practical recommendations that support success in school, college, and beyond.

We believe the best outcomes come from working together. That's why we collaborate closely with parents, students, schools, and other professionals to develop a comprehensive understanding of each individual's needs. Our goal is to provide meaningful recommendations and the support needed to help every student build confidence, overcome challenges, and thrive academically and personally.

When Should You Consider an Evaluation?

You may benefit from a psycho-educational evaluation if you or your teen:

  • Struggles with reading, writing, or mathematics

  • Has difficulty paying attention or staying organized

  • Takes much longer than expected to complete assignments

  • Has declining grades despite genuine effort

  • Has trouble remembering information or following directions

  • Feels overwhelmed by schoolwork

  • Needs documentation for a 504 Plan or college accommodations

  • Is requesting accommodations for standardized testing

  • Wants to better understand their learning style and abilities

Understanding Your Learning Profile

Everyone learns differently. A psychoeducational evaluation helps us understand how you or your teen processes information, approaches learning, and overcomes challenges. By identifying both strengths and areas of difficulty, we can provide meaningful recommendations that support academic success and personal growth.

Depending on your concerns and individual needs, the evaluation may assess:

  • Learning disorders in reading, writing, or mathematics

  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

  • Cognitive strengths and areas for growth

  • Executive functioning skills, such as organization and planning

  • Memory and processing speed

  • Gifted abilities

  • Emotional or behavioral factors that may be affecting learning

Because every individual is unique, every evaluation is personalized to answer the questions that matter most to you.

More Than a Diagnosis

A diagnosis can provide important answers, but it is only one part of the picture.

Our focus is on helping you understand your strengths, recognize areas where additional support may be beneficial, and identify strategies that promote long-term success.

Every report includes individualized recommendations that may include:

  • Academic accommodations

  • Classroom strategies

  • Study and organizational techniques

  • Testing accommodations

  • Assistive technology recommendations

  • Referrals for additional services when appropriate

We believe an evaluation should do more than identify challenges—it should provide a clear path forward. Our recommendations are designed to empower students, families, educators, and other professionals with practical tools that promote confidence, independence, and lifelong success.

If you or your child is experiencing academic challenges, attention difficulties, or concerns about learning, we're here to help.

A comprehensive psycho-educational evaluation can provide the answers you need to better understand learning strengths, identify barriers to success, and create an effective plan for the future.

Our Process

Initial Intake Session

Your journey begins with one simple step: scheduling your initial intake session (cost: $150).

During this individual appointment with one of our Licensed Psychologists, we take the time to understand your or your child’s background, current concerns, and the specific questions you would like the evaluation to address.

Following the intake session, a member of our team will contact you to review the referral and the psychologist’s recommendations.

We will explain the type of evaluation recommended, estimated length of the evaluation, cost, availability, and what you or your child can expect throughout the process. This ensures that you have all the information you need to make a well-informed decision.

Schedule the evaluation

If you decide to proceed with the recommended evaluation, the $150 Initial Intake Session fee will be applied toward the total cost of your psychoeducational evaluation.

If you decide not to proceed with the evaluation, you will receive a letter from the psychologist indicating the type of evaluation that was recommended.

Report & Feedback Session

Once the evaluation is completed, you will receive a detailed written report summarizing the findings, conclusions, and personalized recommendations tailored specifically to your or your child’s needs.

If needed, we can schedule a phone consultation with the psychologist to explain the results, review the recommendations, address any concerns, and answer your questions.
