Project Description:

This project is meant to provide comprehensive materials to give parents or school professionals to help make psychoeducational evaluation reports more meaningful and digestible for parents who may be unfamiliar with the process, cannot understand the language of the psychologists' report, have limited education etc. The materials break down the dominant cognitive abilities and provide 'user-friendly' definitions and examples to help parents understand the terminology and how cognitive weaknesses/strengths may manifest in their child's school performances.
