What a child psychological or educational evaluation involves
A psychological or psychoeducational evaluation for a child usually starts with a conversation about what's prompting it — a school referral, a developmental concern, or questions about ADHD, autism, or a learning difference. From there, a psychologist typically meets with the child for a series of standardized tests and observations, often over more than one session, and may ask parents and teachers to fill out questionnaires about behavior at home and in the classroom.
The result is a written report with findings and specific recommendations, which families often use to pursue a diagnosis, request school accommodations (like an IEP or 504 plan), or simply better understand how their child learns and thinks. The providers below in Coral Gables perform these evaluations and can walk you through what to expect for your child's specific situation.

Frequently asked questions
- How long does a child evaluation take?
- It depends on what's being assessed — a focused screening might take a single session, while a comprehensive neuropsychological or psychoeducational evaluation often spans several sessions plus time for the provider to write up results. Ask a provider directly for their typical timeline.
- Does insurance cover testing for children in Coral Gables?
- Coverage varies by plan and by the reason for testing — some insurers cover evaluations tied to a medical diagnosis but not ones done purely for school placement. Check each provider's profile below for the insurance they accept, and confirm testing-specific coverage with your plan.
- Can we use the results for school accommodations?
