Post-Secondary School
Post-Secondary School Student Assessment
Post-Secondary School psycho-educational assessments may be requested for many reasons. Often clients require an up-to-date assessment in order to support their needs while attending post-secondary school. Others may find themselves struggling, as an adult, either in their respective school setting and/or occupational setting and wish to better understand their learning profile.
Goal of Assessment
The goal of this assessment is to identify a client’s cognitive and academic abilities in order to determine his/her overall learning profile. Such findings will help identify if a client meets the diagnostic criteria for a specific diagnosis and if there are specific accommodations that can be implemented to help a client achieve his/her maximum academic and/or occupational success.
BENEFITS OF AN ADULT/POST-SECONDARY SCHOOL ASSESSMENT
- An understanding of one’s cognitive and academic abilities,
- An understanding of how one learns best,
- An understanding of specific strategies/programs that may be beneficial,
- An understanding of appropriate accommodations/modifications that may be implemented to support student success,
- To determine if one meets criteria for a specific diagnosis, and
- An understanding of how to access potential community resources.
It is important to note that a formal psychological report which indicates a formal diagnosis may be required at some post-secondary schools in order to be eligible for specific supports/services and/or accommodations. It is important to contact your respective post-secondary school for details.
