A psychoeducational evaluation typically begins with a clinical interview covering developmental, educational, medical, and family history. This is followed by standardized cognitive testing, which may include measures of verbal and nonverbal reasoning, processing speed, and working memory. Academic achievement testing assesses reading fluency and comprehension, spelling, written expression, and mathematical skills. Depending on the referral question, additional measures of attention, executive function, or emotional functioning may also be included. The evaluator integrates all findings into a written report with a diagnosis, if warranted, and specific recommendations.
