Frequently Asked Questions
What is a psychoeducational assessment?
A psychoeducational assessment is designed to assess a person's cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning in order to identify any strengths, weaknesses, or learning difficulties. People who have learning differences all have the same story: they are intelligent and interested in learning, but they don't do as well in school as they should. A psychoeducational assessment may include a variety of tests and procedures, such as cognitive ability tests, academic achievement tests, personality tests, and interviews with the person being assessed and/or their family members.
The assessment tries to find out what's really going on. It looks at how the brain works in many different ways, including memory, processing speed, academic abilities, visual and verbal problem-solving skills, and the ability to express ideas. The results of the assessment can be used to identify any learning disabilities or other problems that may be impacting a person's education or daily functioning. Once strengths and problem areas are found, our team can suggest evidence-based treatments targeted and backed by science.
Who can provide psychoeducational assessment?
In British Columbia, psychoeducational assessments for learning disabilities are required to be supervised by a neuropsychologist, clinical psychologist, or school psychologist. Our clinic has psychologists specializing in these areas to meet your needs. We offer psychoeducational evaluation for children, adolescents, and adults.
When (at what age) should I consider getting a psychoeducational evaluation for my child?
Research indicates that early assessment and treatment result in improved academic performance and mental health. Consider a psychoeducational evaluation if you have concerns about your child's learning at the end of the first grade and the beginning of the second grade. Research indicates that early delivery of evidence-based treatments can help your child overcome dyslexia. Nevertheless, it is never too late! Interventions for learning difficulties continue to be effective throughout high school, college, and adulthood.
Is there a publicly funded, no-fee option to perform psychoeducational assessment?
Yes, public-funded (no-fee) psychoeducational assessments are available through the school system. If your school board employs licensed psychologists who administer tests in schools, you may have access to testing in this manner. A lot of times, there is a long waitlist for school-based assessments. However, if you're fortunate, you'll be able to quickly and efficiently obtain an evaluation through the school system.
We advise you to inquire and request a psychoeducational evaluation from your school. In the event that this is not the case, or if there is a long waitlist for such free of charge services, you may wish to pursue a private evaluation. Additionally, if you qualify, some organizations like Variety Club , or Jordan’s Principle may provide funding for you or your child’s private assessment fees.
What makes All Brains Clinic Psychoeducational Assessment Different?
Aside from our multi-disciplinary team approach, your assessment at All Brains always comes with post-assessment support where we connect you with the best available services specific to you and your family’s need in your community. At All Brains Clinic, we take a team-based approach to psychoeducational assessments and learning disability assessments. You or your child will be assessed by psychological and medical professionals in every learning disability evaluation we conduct.
Our assessments of learning disabilities are unique due to our team-based approach, which combines medical and psychological expertise. That means, beyond the cognitive and learning issues that are typically the focus of psychoeducational assessments, our team's expertise enables a comprehensive examination of a full range of issues, including attention deficit disorders and mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, tic disorder, developmental coordination disorder, and sensory processing disorder, which typically cooccur with learning disorders or in the settings that learning disorder is suspected.
Why do I need a doctor’s referral for psychoeducational assessment at All Brains Clinic when other clinics don’t require this?
All of our assessments at All Brains are team based. Specialized physicians are involved in all of our team assessments, so a doctor’s referral is required. If you don’t have a referring doctor, please let our staff know. We can assist you in connecting with a primary care physician to see what assessment might be needed, and, if necessary, making a referral. If you are not seeking an assessment, but wish to proceed directly with therapy or coaching, a doctor’s referral is not required.
Why a thorough evaluation of everything else if I am concerned about a Learning Disability?
Rarely do learning disabilities exist in isolation. If a learning disability is present, there is a high likelihood that ADD or ADHD is also present. And when ADD or ADHD is present, mental health issues such as anxiety may also be present. In addition to educational interventions for learning difficulties, medical and psychological treatments may be required to ensure wellness in all areas of functioning.
What does a thorough psychoeducational evaluation at All Brains Clinic look like?
Our approach as a team involves multiple specialists and multiple sessions:
- Medical/Psychological Intake: You will meet with the doctor and a psychologist to discuss your concerns, provide pertinent background information, and review your medical history. This initial consultation also allows us to determine if our services are appropriate for you by comparing your needs to the assessments we offer.
- Testing: A psychologist or psychometrist will administer tests in a series (usually two or three) of sessions. In total, there are approximately six hours of direct testing.
- Testing for ADHD and other Mental Health Disorders: There is a battery of standardized test to identify any other condition that might be affecting you or your child.
- Team Meeting for Results Review: Before providing you with feedback, the clinicians conducting the evaluation will examine test results and discuss diagnoses. In addition, they will develop the subsequent steps of a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan.
- Feedback Session: You will meet with your team of expersts to discuss the testing results and the recommended treatment plan.
- Post-assessment Support: You will meet with our resource liaison consultant to find specific resources and support available in your community to help you or your loved ones.
- Report: You will receive a written report signed by your assessment team that can be shared with the school/work for support and accommodations.
What is the cost of In-depth PsychoEducational Assessment at All Brains Clinic?
A comprehensive psychoeducational assessment costs $3950.We accept Variety Club and Jordan’s Principle payment options, and our services are eligible for reimbursement by most insurance policies.
What happens following the psychoeducational assessment?
We send a copy of the report to you and your referring doctor. You can share the report with the school, family doctor, pediatrician, or employer, if you choose, to help secure support and accommodations.
Understanding Psychoeducational Assessment in Vancouver
A psychoeducational assessment, sometimes called a psych-ed assessment, is a structured, evidence-based evaluation of how a person learns. It brings together cognitive ability, academic skills, and emotional functioning to explain why learning feels harder than it should, and whether a learning disability is part of the picture. Our private psychoeducational assessment in Vancouver goes beyond a single test, because learning challenges look different in a Grade 2 student, a high-schooler, and an adult.

What a Psychoeducational Assessment Can Identify
A thorough assessment can reveal specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, along with strengths in reasoning, memory, and problem-solving. Because learning difficulties rarely travel alone, our evaluation also screens for ADHD and mental health concerns such as anxiety that often occur alongside them. The result is a clear diagnosis and a plan that targets the real issue, not just the symptom.
Psychoeducational Assessment for Children, Teens & Adults
We provide psychoeducational testing and diagnosis at every stage of learning. For children, an early assessment can unlock school support and stronger long-term outcomes. For teens, it brings clarity through the demanding years of high school and into post-secondary planning. For adults, a psychoeducational assessment in Vancouver can explain long-standing struggles and open the door to accommodations at college, university, or work. Much of the assessment can be completed online across British Columbia, so you don't have to live in Vancouver to be seen, and you won't face the long waitlists common in the school system. You will leave with a signed report the school or workplace can act on right away.
