Psychoeducational Evaluations in Los Altos & Palo Alto
Psychoeducational evaluations focus on understanding a student’s learning profile, including cognitive abilities, academic skills, attention, and executive functioning. These assessments help identify learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and giftedness.
Parents and educators use the results to create effective learning plans, secure school accommodations (IEP or 504 plans), and support the student’s strengths while addressing areas of challenge. Dr. Wager provides detailed, accessible reports and practical recommendations to ensure meaningful progress in both school and daily life.
A psychoeducational evaluation may be helpful when a student is struggling with reading, writing, math, attention, organization, test performance, or overall academic progress. Parents may also seek testing when a child’s performance does not seem to reflect their ability, when school has become unusually stressful, or when accommodations may be needed.
These evaluations can help identify learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, or gifted learning profiles.
