Ongoing Support

We understand that receiving a diagnosis of a learning disability or attention disorder can be overwhelming. There is so much new information to take in and many decisions to make. We are here as your partner through this journey, ensuring you have all the information needed to help your child gain the tools for success.

At Springer, we believe all children deserve to be well understood.

A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation can shed light on how your child learns and what you can do to empower them to succeed in school.

At Springer Diagnostic Center we can go beyond the diagnosis to empower parents, guardians, and students with a clear understanding of your child’s learning challenges and provide resources to ignite success.

We provide diagnostic evaluations to children in K-12. Our staff is wide ranging in their expertise and includes speech-language and occupational therapists. With a professional, comprehensive evaluation we can determine why a student is struggling and where the learning process is breaking down. With this information, you become equipped to take the next best step for your child. We are here to partner with you along the way.

Components of a Psychoeducational Evaluation

Cognition

Assessments that look at underlying factors that affect how a student processes information, such as memory, processing speed, and verbal/nonverbal abilities.

Academics

Assessments that specifically target all areas of academic strengths and weaknesses in reading, writing, math, and spelling.

Social-Emotional / Executive Function

Assessments that examine areas that affect learning and processing may or may not include neuropsychological measures. Some of the areas we examine are attention, focus, and controlling feelings of anxiety and depression.

Speech/Language and Motor Skills

Assessments for receptive language, expressive language, pragmatic language, articulation, handwriting, and visual motor skills. These assessments may or may not be included in the psychoeducational evaluation based on your child's needs.
