Psycho-educational Assessments for Children and Teens:
Psychological assessment contributes important information to the understanding of individual characteristics and capabilities, through the collection, integration, and interpretation of information about an individual (Groth-Marnat, 2009; Weiner, 2003). Such information is obtained through a variety of methods and measures. Sources of information may include
- Standardized assessments in the areas of cognition, processing and academics
- Records (e.g., medical, educational, occupational, legal) obtained from the referral source;
- Records obtained from other organizations and agencies that have been identified as potentially relevant;
- Interviews conducted with the person being examined;
- Behavioral observations;
- Interviews with corroborative sources such as family members, friends, teachers, and others;
