Behavioural and emotional factors that influence learning are also assessed during your evaluation.
There are two primary components to an adult psychoeducational assessment; Cognitive Testing Component and the Academic Testing Component.
During your assessment these are explored to determine a number of factors regarding your psychoeducational barriers.
