Skill Evaluation - FAQ

Many smart individuals struggle in the classroom or workplace due to weak underlying processing skills. NeuroAide's Skill Evaluation pinpoints the root cause of challenges with attention, learning, communication, and academic and professional skills. Understanding your brain's unique functioning provides valuable insight and serves as a guide to improving neurological functioning.

Through a combination of client history analysis, standardized assessments, and structured observation, Skill Evaluations are used to identify an individual’s strengths and weaknesses in neurological processing. A Skill Evaluation is the first enrollment step in a program with NeuroAide and serves as the blueprint for your individualized training plan.

A Skill Evaluation typically takes about 2-3 hours to complete and is followed-up with a written report and consultation meeting. Evaluations are available for both children (age 6 and up) and adults.

If completing the evaluation online, you will be sent paperwork prior to the meeting. It is important not to look over the material before the evaluation, however, make sure to have them handy for your appointment time.
