Psychoeducational Assessment

UNDERSTAND YOUR CHILD’S PROFILE OF STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF ABILITIES.
With a whole child approach, we work closely with families and schools to assess and provide a tailored treatment plan for your child.

We are now offering to administer the assessment from the comfort of your home!

HOW DOES IT WORK REMOTELY?


The assessment takes place in an online platform, HIPPA consent, which means, that is totally private. Your child will need to be placed in a quiet room with no distractions. We take the time your child needs to complete all tasks. Most of the testing materials are online, but we will also ship a small box with some hands-on materials for the assessment.

WHY DO AN ASSESSMENT?

It provides a deep understanding of your child’s learning process, identifies the underlying cause/s of your child’s current challenges, detects your child’s unique strengths for further development, and allows to prepare an individualized plan of action for your child’s optimal development.

It provides diagnosis such as Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism, Dyscalculia, Language Disorders, among others.

WHY DO IT WITH US?

At My Optimal Child, we strive to offer comprehensive assessments and lead parents step by step through the process –from the evaluation to understanding results to follow a tailor-made plan of action–. We not only provide a diagnosis, but we guide the parents to navigate the path for their child’s learning success.

 A strength-based aproach

It means we identify child’s areas for improvement as well as child’s talents. Both are equally important to help the child succeed in learning.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

A psycho-educational assessment is expensive, as a professional and accurate evaluation takes the expert more than 20 hours of work to complete, to truly identify your child’s learning profile and assist parents and school with a tailored plan to let the child succeed at school. The process is as follows:

Gifted Evaluation

The gifted evaluation provides parents with valuable insight into their child’s intellectual development. IQ testing is also required for special services and placement within schools.

 

Cognitive & Academic Screenings

The academic and cognitive screening is to uncover the student’s profile of strengths and weaknesses that affects the learning process within the school setting.
