What Is a Psychoeducational Evaluation?
A psychoeducational evaluation is a comprehensive assessment that helps identify how your child learns, processes information, and navigates emotional, social, and behavioral challenges at home, in school, and in everyday life.
At Little Futures, we evaluate a wide range of developmental and functional areas, including:
- Cognitive abilities (IQ testing)
- Academic skills – reading, writing, and math
- Attention and executive functioning
- Memory, processing speed, and visual-motor coordination
- Emotional and behavioral functioning
- Social skills and peer relationships
- Developmental, family, and medical history
The goal of a psychoeducational evaluation is to uncover both your child’s strengths and areas that may need support—so you, your child’s teachers, and other providers can work together to create a personalized plan for academic and emotional success.
You’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report with individualized recommendations for next steps. We also offer collaboration with schools, therapists, and other care team members to ensure that your child’s needs are clearly identified and properly supported.
Signs Your Child May Benefit from a Psychoeducational or ADHD Evaluation

Emotional & Behavioral Concerns

Why Early Evaluation Matters
The earlier a child receives a psychoeducational evaluation, the sooner support strategies can be put in place to help them thrive. Without proper interventions, academic struggles can worsen over time, leading to school avoidance, low self-esteem, and disinterest in learning. A timely evaluation gives parents, educators, and therapists the tools they need to guide your child toward long-term success—academically, emotionally, and socially.
