Psychoeducational assessments help families and school teams better understand how individuals learn, think, and approach academic tasks. These comprehensive assessments evaluate cognitive skills, academic achievement, and executive functioning, as well as social-emotional and behavioral functioning. These assessments often explore the presence of learning differences, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, or giftedness. For older students, this process can help clarify why certain academic demands feel hard and offer clear next steps to support success at school and at home. They can also be incredibly helpful for college students and adults navigating academic, professional, or organizational challenges, especially when seeking clarity for accommodations, job-related support, or personal insight.

Kindergarten readiness assessments are designed for preschool-aged children and focus on the foundational skills needed for early learning environments. This may include early literacy and numeracy, language development, social-emotional growth, motor skills, and the ability to engage in structured routines. These assessments are often used to guide enrollment decisions, support pre-K transitions, or identify early signs of learning differences. Upon request, providers at PFPA can conduct school observations as part of kindergarten readiness assessments.
