Clear, Comprehensive Psychoeducational Assessments in Edmonton
A psychoeducational assessment is designed to clarify how an individual learns, processes information, and performs academically. At ShiftGrit Edmonton, we provide structured psychoeducational assessments that support informed understanding and practical planning across school, work, and daily life.
Our assessments emphasize clarity, clinical rigour, and transparency—so results are understandable, defensible, and useful.
Who Psychoeducational Assessments Are For
Psychoeducational assessments at our Edmonton location are offered for two clearly defined age groups:
- Children and Youth (Ages 6–16 years)
- Adults (Ages 16–50 years)
Each assessment is tailored to the developmental stage, educational background, and life context of the individual being assessed.
Psychoeducational Assessments for Children & Youth (Ages 6–16)
Psychoeducational assessments for children and youth focus on understanding learning profiles, including cognitive strengths, academic skills, and areas of difficulty within a developmental and school context.
Families often seek a psychoeducational assessment when there are concerns such as:
- Ongoing academic struggles despite effort
- Difficulties with reading, writing, math, or learning skills
- Gaps between ability and academic performance
- Learning challenges affecting confidence or motivation
- Requests for documentation to support educational planning or accommodations
The goal of assessment is to clarify how a child learns and where supports may be helpful.
Psychoeducational Assessments for Adults (Ages 16–50)
Psychoeducational assessments for adults focus on understanding learning patterns and academic or functional skills in post-secondary, vocational, or training contexts.
Adults often seek a psychoeducational assessment when they experience:
- Persistent academic difficulties in post-secondary settings
- Challenges with reading, writing, or information processing
- Learning differences impacting educational or career goals
- Requests for documentation to support academic accommodations
Assessment provides structured insight into learning strengths and challenges to support planning and decision-making.
What a Psychoeducational Assessment Can (and Can’t) Do
A psychoeducational assessment aims to:
- Clarify cognitive and academic strengths and challenges
- Identify learning patterns and areas of relative difficulty
- Support informed decision-making around supports or accommodations
- Provide clear documentation based on standardized testing
A psychoeducational assessment does not provide tutoring or treatment. Instead, it offers a structured understanding of learning profiles to guide next steps.
Our Assessment Philosophy
At ShiftGrit, we prioritize an assessment process that addresses common concerns families and individuals report, including:
- Unclear purpose behind testing measures
- Results that feel overly technical or difficult to interpret
- Limited connection between assessment findings and real-world application
Our clinicians take an explanatory, professional approach—ensuring you understand what was assessed, why it matters, and how findings may be used.
Who Conducts Psychoeducational Assessments in Edmonton
Psychoeducational assessments at our Edmonton location are conducted by registered psychologists Abhishek Bardoloi and Sharilyn Theriault.
Both clinicians work within professional standards and tailor assessments to the individual being assessed.
What’s Included in a Psychoeducational Assessment
While each psychoeducational assessment is individualized, the process typically involves:
- Clinical interviews
- Review of educational, developmental, and learning history
- Use of standardized assessment methods selected by the clinician
- Integration of cognitive, academic, and contextual information
The focus is on developing a clear, defensible understanding of learning, not simply producing test scores.
After the Assessment: What Happens Next?
Following the assessment, you will receive:
- A clear explanation of findings
- A written report summarizing cognitive and academic profiles
- Thoughtful discussion of options for supports or accommodations
Decisions about educational or workplace accommodations are made by the relevant institutions; assessment results provide supporting clinical information.
