Educational Diagnostic Evaluations
What is an educational diagnostic evaluation?
In simple terms, diagnostic evaluation means to diagnose or discover the students' difficulties while learning and creating a plan to treat and assess the problem accurately. In other words, it is performed to disclose a child's weaknesses and strengths. These assessments are intended to help our teachers and therapists, as well as parents, identify what a child knows and can do in different domains to support their students' learning.
How long does it take?
While many evaluation times can vary, we schedule about two hours of evaluation time with your educational diagnostician. Depending on the child, this can be done in our appointment, or can be split into two shorter appointments depending on the child's level of comfort and attention span.
How does it help?
The goal of the diagnostic evaluation is to be able to support, nurture, and treat the child's individual needs while being able to obtain and track their progress through-out the year. By doing an evaluation, we are able to get a baseline of what your child may need help with in their educational setting (ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Dyslexia, etc.) From there, our therapists and teachers can get a better understanding of what your child's individual needs and goals may be.
