An Educational & Learning Support Evaluation is an individualized academic assessment designed to clarify a student’s current skill levels, learning profile, and functional strengths and challenges that may be affecting school performance. The purpose is to provide clear, practical guidance for educational planning, including recommendations for supports, interventions, and accommodations that help a student access instruction and demonstrate what they know.

This service is not a psychological evaluation and does not provide a diagnosis or determine eligibility for special education services. Instead, it focuses on academic functioning and learning needs to support informed decision-making by families, educators, and support professionals.

What the service involves

An Educational & Learning Support Evaluation is typically completed in structured phases:

Background review and intake
We begin with a review of the student’s educational history and current concerns. This may include academic records, prior supports (such as an IEP or 504 Plan), classroom performance patterns, and any relevant contextual factors that may influence learning.

Standardized academic achievement testing
The student completes standardized measures of academic achievement in key areas such as:

• Reading

• Writing

• Mathematics

These results help identify skill strengths, skill gaps, and patterns that may contribute to underperformance or inconsistent progress.

Interpretation and educational planning focus
Results are interpreted with an emphasis on how the student learns and what supports may improve access and outcomes. Recommendations are designed to be actionable and appropriate for school settings.

What you receive

The final deliverable is a professional written report that summarizes: - Educational background and presenting concerns - Standardized academic testing results and interpretation - Identified strengths and areas needing support - Practical recommendations for: - Classroom strategies and instructional supports - Interventions and skill-building priorities - Accommodations that may be helpful (when appropriate).

Who benefits from an Educational & Learning Support Evaluation

This evaluation is especially helpful for students who are showing signs of academic difficulty, underperformance, or inconsistent progress. It is commonly used for: - Students (often ages 10–14, typically grades 5–8) who are struggling in one or more academic areas - Families seeking a clear, objective “check-up” on academic skills and learning needs - Students who already have an IEP or 504 Plan and need updated academic data to guide planning - Students who have never been formally evaluated but may benefit from school-based supports.

An Educational & Learning Support Evaluation provides structured, data-driven insight that helps families and schools move from concern to a clear plan—supporting stronger learning outcomes and improved access to instruction.
