Parent Workshop
All About Evaluations
If you’re feeling confused about whether or not your child needs to be evaluated for a developmental or learning difference and where to even begin, this workshop is for you!
In this workshop you will learn:
- What is involved in a psycho-educational evaluation and how does it differ from a psychological or neuropsychologial evaluation? What kind of information will I get from these tests?
- When is the best time to get my child evaluated and how early can these tests be done? How often do these tests need to be repeated?
- Who is qualified to conduct these evaluations and what are the differences between seeing a pediatrician, psychologist, or psychiatrist?
- What is the difference between receiving a (free) evaluation by a school psychologist in public school and having my child evaluated by a psychologist in private practice or hospital clinic setting?
- What do I do with the results? I will walk you through how to read a test report and translate that information into supporting your child.
