Evaluations

Evaluations are available to parents and schools

Educational Therapy Evaluations

Educational therapy evaluations are available to parents and schools, and provide information about a student’s learning in general, or answer specific questions about a student’s abilities and skills.  The diagnostic evaluation includes assessments of the student’s aptitude, achievement, and learning strengths and needs.

Evaluations occur in 3 phases:

1. Consultation with parents and/or teachers about strengths and concerns.

  • Review of existing student records (parents/guardians need to provide)
  • Discussion of student’s strengths and concerns
  • Determination of assessments for the evaluation
  • Consultation may be done at the beginning of the assessment appointment or in a separate appointment.

2. Assessment sessions

  • 3 hours generally needed
  • Includes both formal (standardized) assessments and informal assessments to evaluate the student’s knowledge, abilities, and skills.

3. Analysis of findings and development of Instructional Plan

  • Educational Therapy Report provided to parents includes assessment results, interpretations, and specific instructional recommendations.  Report is appropriate for use in schools or other student services settings.
  • EnCourage Education Intervention Specialists use the Instructional Plan to structure both what is taught and how it will be taught to maximize learning.

EnCourage Institute for Teaching and Learning

Our Mission is to provide expert instruction to all students, helping them grow into successful life-long learners.
