Tailored Insights Guiding Each Student to Success
Edcommodate specializes in and is pioneering online educational assessments, also known as psychoeducational assessments, for students ages 8 to 17 throughout the province of Ontario.
If your child is struggling with attention, reading, writing, math, memory issues, or you simply want to better understand their learning process, our online educational assessment can assist with creating a clear path forward, and can create clarity around current and future learning strengths and needs. With a focus on student learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving, we use evidence-based tools and psychological testing batteries that uncover how each individual student processes, retains, and applies information.
Why Choose an Online Educational Assessment?
Our online psychoeducational assessments deliver the same benefits as in-person evaluations with the added convenience and flexibility of a virtual format, allowing us to provide assessments from the comfort of the child/adolescent’s home anywhere in the province of Ontario, which often leads to better engagement and reduced anxiety for the student.
Our formative assessments utilize tools that are rooted in best practices, and evaluate key areas of student performance, such as cognitive ability, executive functioning, processing speed, and attention. Online educational assessments provide a comprehensive picture of how a student learns best, while also identifying any underlying conditions or factors that may be impacting academic achievement, such as:
- Learning disabilities
- Challenges with attention and executive functioning
- Impairment of intellectual & cognitive abilities
- Challenges related to emotional & behavioural health
- Challenges with memory & learning strategies
- Impaired language & communication skills
- Reduced adaptive & daily living skills
- Cultural & developmental factors
Customized to Fit Each Learner
All students learn in different ways. That’s why our online educational assessments are designed to adapt to each individual’s specific needs and learning style. These assessments go far beyond traditional psychoeducational assessments, providing educators, teaching assistants, and families valuable insight into a student’s learning weaknesses and strengths. Online educational assessments can even assist with higher education, online distance learning, and online courses for those who are approaching adult learning.
From Answers to Actionable Support
Assessment data is gathered and scored from the clinical interviews and compiled into a detailed report with clear recommendations and constructive feedback about learning needs. This lays the foundation for meaningful classroom supports, such as extra time, modified course material, online learning options, and IEP development. These insights help guide student progress throughout the school year. Whether the goal is securing accommodations or modifications, or simply just having a better understanding of the student’s learning style or needs, our summative assessments are here to help! We’re here to provide the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
For all students, but particularly for those in high school or progressing towards post secondary, recommendations for accommodations or modifications can be as simple as:
- Extended time limits on in-person, online tests, or online exams
- Providing additional one-on-one time to promote student engagement in the classroom
- Recommendations for alternate question types or for how exam questions are delivered
- Removal of multiple choice questions from student learning, with an emphasis on providing the student with more real-world scenarios for assessment
- Alternatively, removal of essay questions or essays, with emphasis on multiple choice questions to suit the student’s learning needs
- Open book exams or open book tests
- Recommendations to assist with and develop the student’s time management skills
- Inclusion of technology in learning, like voice to text and artificial intelligence
- Final assessment due date extensions
- Extension of study time for final exams
- Providing the student with different questions than peers
- Removal from group assignments where it causes undo stress and anxieties, doesn’t allow a student time for critical reflection, creates a poor learning experience, or results in a final product that negatively affects the grading rubric
- Contingency plans for unforeseen events that might disrupt regular classroom activities, like transitioning to virtual learning, adapting assignments, and communication from the teacher, professor, or teaching assistant
- Recommendations to accommodate for high-stakes exams, such as entrance exams for post secondary or special programs
