A psychoeducational evaluation is appropriate for children or adults who are struggling academically or professionally in ways that do not match their apparent ability or effort. Common reasons include persistent reading or spelling difficulties, trouble with math or written expression, a history of special education services, concerns about ADHD, and unexplained underachievement. Students applying for extended time on standardized exams such as the SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, or MCAT will typically need documentation from a comprehensive evaluation.
