What is academic and educational testing?
Academic and educational testing refers to an umbrella of comprehensive evaluations designed to understand how a student learns and functions across academic and psychological domains. These assessments are typically requested by parents, school staff, therapists, or medical providers when a student is struggling academically, showing signs of behavioral or attentional challenges, or is suspected of having a learning difference or developmental condition.
They are often used to determine eligibility for academic supports, such as an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a 504 plan, or to clarify mental health diagnoses that may be impacting school performance. By gathering detailed information through standardized testing, clinical interviews, and behavioral observations, educational assessments provide actionable insights to guide intervention planning, classroom accommodations, and long-term support.
