​Types of Evaluations

Evaluations

Evaluations are important for all ages because they help identify strengths, challenges, and supports needed to function successfully across life stages. Specifically, evaluations help identify the underlying causes of learning, emotional, behavioral, or cognitive difficulties; guide intervention by informing appropriate treatment, therapy, educational supports, or accommodations; provide diagnostic clarification; track changes over time; promote self-understanding; and empower individuals to make informed decisions about their education, work, and health.
