Evaluations and Testing
Psychoeducational Testing in Florida
Educational Evaluations & Learning Assessments
At Thrive Therapy, we offer comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations for children, teens, and adults across Southwest Florida, including Fort Myers, Naples, and surrounding areas.
These assessments help identify learning differences, ADHD, dyslexia, giftedness, and other factors that impact learning and emotional development.
What Is Psychoeducational Testing?
Psychoeducational testing — sometimes called an educational evaluation or learning disability assessment — is a one-on-one process with a licensed psychologist to better understand how a person learns, thinks, and processes information.
Our evaluations measure:
- Cognitive processing abilities (attention, memory, reasoning, and executive functioning)
- Academic achievement in reading, writing, and math
- Emotional, behavioral, and social functioning
These insights don’t mean something is “wrong.” Instead, they highlight a person’s strengths and challenges, providing a roadmap for school, home, and personal growth. Knowing how your child learns best can improve their confidence, academic success, and emotional well-being.
Who Can Benefit from a Psychoeducational Evaluation?
Psychoeducational testing is valuable for students who continue to struggle academically, socially, or behaviorally despite classroom accommodations.
You may consider an evaluation if your child:
- Has ongoing difficulty focusing or staying organized
- Shows frustration or a worsening attitude toward school
- Struggles in one specific subject area
- Performs poorly on tests despite studying
- Appears bored or disengaged in class
- Has frequent emotional outbursts or trouble self-regulating
- Struggles to make or maintain friendships
- Needs testing for gifted placement or Step Up for Students eligibility
