Benefits of an Assessment
Although there are many different reasons why a child/adolescent may be referred for an assessment, there are many benefits.
Benefits of a psycho-educational assessment may include:
- An understanding of a client’s cognitive and learning profile,
- An understanding of how one learns best,
- An understanding of strategies that will support one’s strengths and needs,
- An understanding of strategies that may be incorporated into an Individual Education Plan (IEP),
- An understanding of potential accommodations and modifications to support student success,
- An understanding if further consultation with related professionals may be beneficial,
- An understanding of potential community resources, and
- An understanding, if appropriate, of the client’s diagnosis and how to help one achieve his/her best.
