**Psychoeducational Evaluations are conducted for suspected disabilities that may/likely result in educational impairment (communication, academic, socialization, or emotional and behavioral) and that require specially-designed instruction or educational accommodations and supports. For college students these services may be covered in part or in whole through a superbill submitted to your insurance provider. For students birth through high school graduation, these are provided at public expense by your public school district of residence (even in you homeschool, send your child to private or religious schools), under federal and state Special Education Laws. To request such an assessment contact the special education department for your local school district or ask an administrator at your child's school, and make your request in writing.
***Parents of minor students, and Adult Students are entitled to a Second Opinion through an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) at the expense of the public school district, if they disagree with the results of the district's assessment and request an IEE in writing or as part of an Eligibility/IEP meeting. Psychoeducational Evaluations or IEEs are usually NOT covered under medical insurance plans for this reason.
