Child Psychological & Educational Evaluations in PA, NJ, NYC & Online

​​

At Leonard Educational Evaluations, we offer thorough, child-focused psychological & educational assessments, sometimes called psychoeducational evaluations, that identify emotional, behavioral, and developmental concerns while also considering the impact on learning and daily life. Our goal is to give families and schools the answers they need—backed by clear, practical recommendations.

​

Comprehensive Testing for Emotional, Behavioral, Developmental, and Learning Concerns

Is your child struggling with big emotions, frequent meltdowns, social challenges, learning difficulties, or changes in behavior at school or home? Are teachers reporting concerns about attention, anxiety, or academic performance? A child psychological evaluation can uncover the underlying causes and provide a clear roadmap for helping your child thrive.

​

When Should You Consider a Child Psychological Assessment

​

A child evaluation may be appropriate if your child:

• Struggles with focus, attention, or following directions

• Has frequent emotional outbursts or mood swings

• Shows signs of anxiety, sadness, or withdrawal

• Has difficulty making or keeping friends

• Is performing below expected academic levels despite effort

• Struggles with organization, transitions, or adapting to changes

• Demonstrates rigid, repetitive behaviors or unusual interests

• Has a history of trauma or stressful life events

• Needs updated documentation for special education or gifted programs

Early identification means earlier support—and better long-term outcomes.

​

What Is a Child Psychological & Educational Evaluation?

​

A child psychological evaluation is a structured, age-appropriate assessment designed to:

• Identify emotional and behavioral challenges

• Diagnose or rule out conditions such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, or learning disabilities

• Understand a child’s strengths and areas for growth

• Guide therapy, school supports, and home strategies

• Provide documentation for IEPs, 504 Plans, or school-based accommodations

Unlike brief screenings, our evaluations look at the whole child—cognitive functioning, emotional health, social skills, and how they interact with their environment.

​

What’s Included in a Child Psychological Assessment

​

Every evaluation is tailored to the child’s age, concerns, and unique needs. A typical assessment may include:

• Parent/guardian interview and developmental history review

• Teacher/therapist input and school record review

• Behavioral observations during testing

• Standardized measures of:

  • Cognitive and executive functioning

  • Emotional and behavioral regulation

  • Social and interpersonal skills

  • Attention and impulse control

  • Academic performance (reading, writing, math, if indicated)

• Child self-report tools (when age-appropriate)

• Rating scales for ADHD, anxiety, depression, or trauma

• Optional autism-specific assessments 

• Comprehensive written report with clear diagnoses (if applicable) and individualized recommendations for home, school, and therapy
