What is psychoeducational assessment/testing?
This term refers to tests that analyze mental processes and abilities that affect educational performance and/or cognitive ability. Through psychoeducational tests, we can determine a student’s academic competency (aptitude for knowledge) and levels of understanding (achieved knowledge). Generally, the results may be used for certain school admissions or to document any disabilities for a school.
Many Texas public schools suggest certain children be tested for gifted and talented programs or for 504 accommodations (special needs). Texas public schools provide this type of testing free of charge. However, if needed, our tests and results can also be submitted to the schools for official records and educational planning.
What should my child and I expect during an educational test?
There are several different types of tests that help us evaluate your child’s aptitude and all of them are noninvasive. Coming into the test, your child should expect the possibility of answering a variety of questions, working on puzzles, drawing, telling stories and playing some games.
Who sees my test results?
At MindWorks Testing, you and your test administrator or counselor will review your results in a private appointment. Please review our Privacy Policy for more information.
