Neuropsychological and Educational Evaluation
Evaluations for students ages 5 to 25 to develop a detailed profile of learning strengths and weaknesses.
Can you solve our child's reading, language comprehension, and spelling challenges?
Yes
Our learning evaluation is the first step to determine and customize the exact performance program based on their individualized learning styles.
A Parents Story
I’ve had my son tested two separate times the first time at school where they told me he was fine, yet he had trouble reading. Then thru a private clinic that told me he was at a 3rd grade reading level but couldn’t tell me why, and then told me to go back to my school to put him into a reading program. The same school that told me he was fine.
Child Performance Institute was able to explain exactly what each test measured and how David’s performance at school was being affected based on his test results.
They have a care program that takes you thru the journey together from testing, reading programs, and school IEP services that offers a wholistic approach.

The Child Performance Institute provides evaluations for students ages 5 to 25. Spending roughly 4 hours with each child and their family, our psychologists use up-to-date, standard measures to develop a detailed profile of learning strengths and weaknesses. Our goal is to understand how your child learns best and gain insight into how they process information and handles tasks compared to other children of the same age.
Unlike other test centers or schools where only one or a couple measurements are used, we use a combined total of 10 tests to pinpoint the specific areas that are of concern and how to fix the issues. We pride ourselves in many cases as being chosen as the second assessment after the first assessment did not provide the desired results or was misdiagnosed. In many cases children have had no assessment and just placed into a reading or math program.
We administer reading, math and writing tests to see what school skills your child has mastered. We carefully observe how they approach each task, and we look for patterns of Performance to see if a learning disability affects their ability to demonstrate what they know. We don’t give every child the same tests, but rather use our assessment tools to develop a profile of each child’s individual learning strengths and weaknesses.
As part of our evaluation process, it is sometimes helpful to visit the child’s classroom before we begin testing to get first-hand impressions of his behavior and interaction with teachers and other students. Since the child does not know us yet, we are able to observe what goes on in the classroom without interference. This helps us develop a sense of some of the obstacles he may face in learning within that environment, and whether the school is a good fit with his/her needs.
Feedback
Our evaluations always include a thorough, user-friendly report that documents your child’s diagnosis and offers prioritized recommendations.
- For parents: We share the information and data we gather in a personal meeting and collaborate on a plan for successful learning.
- For students: We meet with adolescents to discuss the results and follow up with letters to document their strengths and areas of struggle. For younger children, we can also provide feedback in person or in a child-friendly letter.
- For educators: We offer consultations with the school to debrief on the results and establish a practical and effective plan for student success.
Follow-up
After the evaluation and feedback are complete, we stay in touch with families to help them implement our recommendations. For children with learning disabilities, we can offer ongoing support. We also work closely with a dedicated group of anxiety specialists, behavioral therapists, and child and adolescent psychiatrists who are available to provide additional services and treatment as needed.
