Psychological / psycho-educational evaluation
The psychological evaluation is often performed in conjunction with the neuropsychological and neurodevelopmental evaluations and is designed to measure a child's social and emotional functioning through a clinical interview, drawings, and projective tests in order to conceptualize and accurately diagnose any psychological difficulties. It can also include the academic and cognitive portions, and is helpful in addressing more specific referral questions, when a full neuropsychological evaluation is not needed.
