For Families and Students, Answers Start Here

If your child is having trouble keeping up in school—or if you’re a college student who struggles to focus in large lecture halls—you may be wondering whether something more is going on. It could be ADHD, a learning disability, or both. At Dr. Iospa Psychiatry Consulting in Midtown Manhattan, we offer comprehensive psychoeducational testing to help families and students get answers—and the right support.

These evaluations are designed to uncover how a person thinks, learns, and processes information. They can be a turning point, especially when everyday challenges have gone unexplained for too long.

What Psychoeducational Testing Looks At

Psychoeducational testing is a detailed, personalized evaluation that can help identify:

  • ADHD, including difficulty with focus, attention, or organization

  • Learning disabilities, such as challenges with reading, writing, or math

  • Cognitive strengths and weaknesses

  • Emotional and behavioral patterns that may impact learning

The results can help explain why certain tasks are harder, and more importantly, what to do about it.

Why Testing Matters

For many students, the signs have been there for a while. Perhaps your child zones out in class or takes significantly longer to complete their homework. Maybe you’ve always had to study twice as hard but still feel behind.

Testing can lead to:

  • A formal diagnosis that opens the door to academic accommodations

  • Personalized strategies that play to strengths and support areas of need

  • Greater confidence and peace of mind—for students and parents alike

We also provide documentation that can be used for IEPs, 504 plans, or college accommodation letters, helping students obtain extra time on exams, quiet testing spaces, and other necessary accommodations.

Support from a Team That Understands

At Dr. Iospa Psychiatry Consulting, we understand that seeking an evaluation can feel overwhelming. That’s why we take a warm, collaborative approach to each case. Our Midtown Manhattan team works with children, teens, and college students, helping each person feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Whether you’re navigating elementary school or college, we’re here to help make things clearer.

When to Consider an Evaluation

You may want to explore psychoeducational testing if you or your child:

  • Struggle to focus in class or stay organized

  • Need extra time to complete tasks

  • Find large lecture halls or group settings especially distracting

  • Have difficulty keeping up in school despite effort and tutoring

  • Feel frustrated, anxious, or discouraged about academic performance

If any of this sounds familiar, a comprehensive evaluation can make all the difference.
