Why a Psychological Evaluation from a Psychologist Matters

f you’re considering a psychological assessment for your child, it’s important to know why having it done by a licensed psychologist makes a difference. Schools, including public and private institutions, often require evaluations from a psychologist or psychiatrist to formally identify learning differences, ADHD, autism, or other cognitive and emotional needs. Having a professional evaluation ensures that your child’s results are accepted by schools and other organizations when requesting accommodations, educational plans, or specialized services.

​

A full psychological evaluation at Healing Spaces STL gives you everything you need in one place. We assess:

• Cognitive functioning: Your child’s thinking, problem-solving, and intellectual strengths and challenges

• Educational and academic skills: How they are doing in reading, math, and writing. The evaluation can identify whether there are any learning disabilities or areas to target tutoring and intervention. 

• Mental health and social-emotional well-being: This can look at anxiety, mood regulation, trauma, and any other behavioral concerns. The evaluation can help identify whether your child has ADHD, autism, intellectual or cognitive challenges, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or any diagnosis listed in the DSM.

​

By gathering all of this information, you’ll have a complete understanding of your child’s strengths and needs. This allows you to advocate effectively for support at school, implement strategies at home, and make informed decisions about interventions.

​

Our team makes the process simple, supportive, and child-centered so you and your child can get answers, guidance, and support in one comprehensive evaluation. Taking this step early can set your child on a path to academic success, emotional well-being, and long-term growth.
