It will provide an overview of understanding psychoeducational evaluation reports and a review of areas commonly assessed in school evaluations, such as intellectual functioning, psychological processing, adaptive behavior, and social/emotional development. The presentation will also focus on how to identify student strengths and weaknesses so that families understand the needs of their student within the classroom setting, as well as how to support them at home.
