6.5 Briefly describe the aims of psycho-educational assessment for assessing learning difficulties

Psycho-educational assessment aims to identify specific learning difficulties and determine the individual's cognitive strengths and weaknesses. This assessment also helps to identify any emotional or behavioral difficulties that may be affecting the individual's learning. The goals of psycho-educational assessment include providing a detailed understanding of the individual's abilities, determining appropriate educational interventions and accommodations, and guiding the development of an individualized education plan (IEP) to support the individual's learning needs.
