We get it — your stomach drops when another email shows up from your child’s teacher. You’re hearing (again) that something’s not clicking… that your child might need extra support… or that it’s time to consider testing.
It’s a lot to carry. And you’re not alone.
At Maitland Mental Health Co., we offer comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations to help uncover what’s really going on — and give you clear next steps. Whether your child is struggling with reading, attention, emotions, or a mix of everything, this process is designed to bring clarity, support, and relief.
You’ll learn how your child learns best, what’s been getting in the way, and how to help them move forward — confidently.

Dyslexia is just one piece of the puzzle.
We assess for a wide range of academic challenges in reading, writing, math, and processing. Our goal? To identify strengths, pinpoint struggles, and give you a clear, personalized roadmap for school success.
Struggling with focus, executive functioning, or completing work?
Our evaluations identify attention-related concerns and offer tailored strategies to help your child succeed. We also provide the documentation needed for 504 Plans, IEPs, and academic accommodations at school.
We offer updated evaluations for college students and teens needing documentation for the SAT, ACT, or other standardized tests.
Our reports meet the criteria for College Board, ACT, and most university disability services — including recommendations for extended time, quiet testing environments, and assistive technology.
Sometimes the challenges go beyond academics.
We evaluate emotional and behavioral concerns like anxiety, depression, mood regulation, social challenges, and oppositional behavior, helping you understand the “why” behind what you’re seeing — and how to better support your child at home, at school, and beyond.
Wondering if your child is gifted? (Of course you are — don’t we all 😉)
Our gifted evaluations go beyond IQ scores to explore cognitive strengths like reasoning, problem-solving, and memory. Whether you're exploring program eligibility or just curious, we make the process thorough, encouraging, and insightful.
(Yes — we also offer gifted testing for adults!)
If autism is a potential concern, we can include screening tools and observational measures as part of your child’s evaluation. This helps identify whether further diagnostic assessment may be needed, and gives families and schools a clearer understanding of your child’s social, emotional, and sensory profile.
⏳ Most evaluations take 3–4 weeks from intake to feedback, depending on availability and how quickly forms are returned.
We’ve got you. Visit our Common Questions page for all the details — before or after your consult.
