What is the difference between a full language evaluation and a psycho-educational evaluation?
A full language evaluation is conducted by a speech language pathologist and assesses the areas of receptive, expressive, written and pragmatic language. A psycho-educational evaluation is completed by a psychologist who uses achievement tests and intelligence tests to assess cognitive abilities. A psycho-educational evaluation will provide IQ scores and look for discrepancies between achievement and intelligence in order to establish areas of weakness.
