This book was written for parents who are considering a psychoeducational evaluation for their child to help them become more knowledgeable about the process.

The various chapters address: how to decide if a psychoeducational evaluation makes sense, what might take place at an intake meeting, what are the different types of testing, observation, questionnaires and other procedures that may be suggested, how psychologists may adapt the testing to individual needs, how to interpret the scores from a psychoeducational evaluation, how to present test findings in a way that is useful to teachers, what happens at the feedback meeting and how to advocate for your child after the evaluation.

The author provides a list of frequently used tests and explains what they measure and what age they are used for.

There is also a list of frequently asked questions that are answered.

The goal of this book is to help parents to become more savvy about the testing process so that they are more able to work collaboratively with the evaluator to obtain information that will ultimately be beneficial in planning for their child's educational needs.
