Educational Evaluations
A data-driven approach to learning success
Standardized educational assessment data gives you a clear picture of your child’s strengths and challenges. We help you create a clear, actionable roadmap for your child’s success.
Educational evaluations
A data-driven roadmap to success
An educational evaluation is a structured, evidence-based process that helps uncover more information about how a student learns and/or behaves. Using specialized standardized assessments, we measure various aspects of your child’s learning. When your child’s test results are compared to norms, they can uncover cognitive strengths and challenges, patterns in behavior and emotions, and possible neurological differences. The goal of completing the evaluation is to support individualized education planning, inform intervention strategies, and enhance student learning and success.
Benefits of completing an evaluation
Real clarity about your child’s strengths and challenges
Objective Clarity: Standardized assessment data provides detailed information on your child’s learning profile and processes. Instead of just thinking, “my child is struggling with reading,” you can see which specific parts of the reading process are challenging and what steps you can take to help your child improve. Instead of, “my child’s teacher often says he has trouble focusing,” you can see which executive functions are challenging and how your child can strengthen them.
Targeted Support: When seeking academic support or tutoring, instead of just asking for reading or math support, you’ll know exactly which areas to target to help your child make the right progress.
Advocacy and Empowerment: With objective, detailed data, you are empowered with the information to support for your child.
Why seek an evaluation?
It might be time to seek an evaluation if:
- Your child is struggling to master skills like reading fluently, spelling accurately, or solving math problems, despite effort.
- They frequently become frustrated with or avoid schoolwork.
- There is a large gap between the effort they express and the outcome (working very hard, but still academically behind).
- They have difficulty sustaining attention, following directions, or following through with things.
- They have difficulty organizing their materials and managing their time.
- Their teachers have given consistent feedback relating to learning challenges at school.
- The information or feedback you receive from school feels incomplete and you would like a more objective, standardized measure of your child’s learning.
When parents want to know more about their child’s learning, the process of an educational assessment will provide them with valuable, detailed data that shows the student’s learning strengths and challenges in a way that school grades or classroom data cannot.
