Psychological-Educational Evaluations
Psychological-Educational Evaluations are comprehensive assessments that evaluate a child’s cognitive and academic functioning. Tests are utilized to understand a child’s strengths and weaknesses and assist the child to perform to their optimal academic level. Parents, schools, therapists, and/or doctors usually recommend a child have a Psychological-Educational Evaluation to better understand why the child/adolescent is struggling to reach their full potential in an academic setting.

FranCenter receives referrals from the medical community to administer The Test of Variables of Attention (T.O.V.A.) to help physicians in diagnosing ADD/ADHD. The symptoms of ADD/ADHD are inattention, concentration, and impulsivity.
​
A FranCenter consultation assesses medical history, educational background, current school performance including standardized tests and report card grades, along with the presenting issues.Based upon this assessment, appropriate Psychological and Educational tests are selected to address the client’s needs.
At the conclusion of testing, a conference with parents and the psychologist is held to share results of the evaluation.Parents receive an extensive report including a narrative, all test scores, summary, and specific home and school recommendations.
If support services are recommended, FranCenter specializes in designing a program to address the student’s needs.
