Educational Assessments & Expert Recommendations for IEPs, 504s, College Accommodations, Mental Health & Learning Disabilities
📚 Leonard Evaluation's Educational Assessments
Targeted Assessments to Identify Academic Strengths, Learning Needs & Instructional Support Plans. Is your child or teen struggling in school despite trying hard and receiving support? Are you noticing challenges with reading fluency, writing clarity, math reasoning, or classroom performance—but not sure why? An educational evaluation provides valuable insight into how a student is performing academically and whether additional services, interventions, or accommodations may be warranted. Whether you’re concerned about grade-level expectations, skill gaps, or classroom performance, this focused evaluation offers clear data to inform school-based planning.
🔍 What’s Included in an Educational Evaluation
Our educational evaluations are appropriate for students in elementary school through high school, and for college-age learners. While they do not assess for psychological or neurodevelopmental diagnoses on their own, they are highly useful for determining academic readiness, instructional needs, and eligibility for targeted supports. Each educational evaluation may include:
- Review of educational history and prior assessments
- Parent/caregiver and student interviews
- Academic achievement testing (e.g., reading, writing, math, and more!)
- Curriculum-based assessments aligned to grade-level standards
- Fluency and accuracy measures to detect skill breakdowns
- Teacher input or school data
- Screening of attention, executive functioning, or language processing
- A clear, easy-to-understand report with expert recommendations and treatment plans
Educational evaluations are often used to inform Response to Intervention (RTI) planning, classroom supports, or private academic services—and can also help determine whether further psychoeducational or neuropsychological assessment is warranted.
đź§ Benefits of Educational Testing
Sometimes a child is struggling—not because of a learning disability or emotional issue—but because of a mismatch between their learning needs and how they’re being taught. An educational evaluation helps break down where—and why—your student is having difficulty. Our evaluations help:
- Identify skill gaps in reading, writing, or math
- Understand academic readiness for placement or promotion decisions
- Clarify whether a student would benefit from tutoring, learning supports, or special education referrals
- Detect processing or fluency issues that may be impacting comprehension or output
- Guide classroom accommodations, instructional modifications, or enrichment
- Offer early identification of at-risk learners before problems escalate
- Help families and schools make data-informed, student-centered decisions
- IEP or 504 Plan eligibility potential
- Expert Recommendations and Treatment Plans
When academic challenges are understood early and accurately, students are far more likely to build confidence and meet their potential.
