Comprehensive Psychoeducational Testing
Are you concerned about your child’s learning, behavior, or academic process? If your child is struggling in multiple areas, a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation provides a thorough understanding of their cognitive, academic, and social-emotional functioning.
Why consider a comprehensive evaluation?
Consider a comprehensive evaluation if you want to cover all the bases of your child’s functioning. Perhaps you aren’t quite sure where your child is struggling, or you want a full picture of their strengths and challenges. This type of in-depth assessment can help:
Identify Learning Disabilities: Determine if a child meets the criteria for specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia.
Diagnose ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorders: Evaluate patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity to determine if a diagnosis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is appropriate.
Understand Communication Skills: Provide information on expressive and receptive skills, along with other skills like pragmatic language and articulation.
Understand Cognitive Strengths and Weaknesses: Provide a detailed profile of a child's intellectual abilities and processing skills.
Inform Educational Planning and Interventions: Offer specific recommendations for academic supports, instructional strategies, and therapeutic interventions tailored to the child's unique needs.
Address Behavioral and Emotional Concerns: Explore the potential impact of emotional or behavioral difficulties on learning.
Understanding the results
We believe in translating assessment findings into practical strategies to support your child's learning and development:
Identifying Specific Learning Profiles: We'll clearly explain your child's unique strengths and areas where they may need support.
Providing Diagnostic Clarity: If a learning disability or ADHD is identified, we will explain the criteria and implications of the diagnosis.
Guiding Educational Interventions: Our recommendations will include specific strategies for teachers and parents to implement at home and in the classroom.
Informing IEP and 504 Plan Development: The evaluation results can provide crucial information for developing effective Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or 504 Plans.
Connecting with Support Services: We can help connect you with appropriate resources such as tutoring, therapy, or specialized educational programs.
Please note: diagnoses is never a guarantee of any evaluation.

Submit a contact form through our website
Email us directly at admin@rootedpsychology.net
Call our office at 303-219-0677
We’ll reach out promptly to gather a bit of background, confirm the best assessment tier for your needs, and offer available testing dates. After scheduling, we’ll send over digital intake forms and any documentation we’ll need prior to your child’s session.
There’s no consultation required just to get pricing or information—we keep it clear, upfront, and easy from the start.
-
We design our evaluations to be comfortable, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. Most children actually enjoy the one-on-one attention and the variety of puzzles, questions, and activities.
Here’s what to expect:
Your child will meet with a licensed psychologist in a calm, welcoming setting.
Testing is broken into short, manageable tasks with plenty of breaks.
For younger children, sessions are kept shorter and playful.
Older children and teens are encouraged to work at their own pace in a low-pressure environment.
We never rush. Our goal is to understand how your child thinks and learns, not just collect scores. Parents are welcome to wait nearby or return when testing is complete, depending on the child’s age and comfort level.
After testing, we’ll schedule a feedback session to walk you through the results, answer your questions, and help you feel confident in the next steps.
-
No referral is needed. You can schedule an evaluation at RootEd Psychology directly—no pediatrician, school, or insurance referral required.
Many families come to us with questions or concerns about their child’s learning, attention, or development, and we’re here to help guide that process. Whether you're seeking insight, documentation for school, or eligibility for accommodations, you can reach out to us anytime.
That said, if your doctor, therapist, or school has recommended testing, we’re happy to coordinate with them (with your consent) to make sure we’re addressing the right questions.
-
From start to finish, most evaluations take 2–4 weeks, depending on the tier of assessment and scheduling availability.
Here’s a general timeline:
Week 1 – Intake forms + scheduling
Week 2 – In-person testing (1–2 sessions, depending on age and tier)
Week 3–4 – Scoring, interpretation, and report writing
Week 4 – Feedback session and final report delivery
We know families are often working with school timelines or application deadlines, so let us know if you're on a time crunch—we’ll do our best to accommodate.
-
The best preparation is helping your child feel calm, rested, and comfortable. There’s no need to study or practice in advance—the tests are designed to measure how your child naturally thinks, learns, and solves problems.
Here are a few tips:
Get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy meal before testing.
Explain the day in simple, positive terms (e.g., “You’ll be doing puzzles, answering questions, and working one-on-one with a nice adult to learn how your brain works!”).
Avoid calling it a “test” if your child finds that stressful—“activities” or “challenges” often feel more fun and approachable.
Bring a favorite snack and water bottle, especially for younger kids.
Let them know it’s okay to take breaks or ask questions—we want them to feel confident and at ease.
We’ll take care of the rest! The environment is warm and child-friendly, and we adjust the pace based on your child’s needs and comfort.
-
We ask that parents wait outside the testing room during the evaluation.
This helps your child:
Feel more independent and confident
Stay focused without the pressure of being observed
Build direct rapport with the psychologist
You’re always welcome to wait nearby, and we’ll keep you updated throughout the session. Our goal is to make the experience smooth, supportive, and stress-free for everyone involved.
