Educational Evaluations & Assessments
At Dr. Hayes Educates Learning Center, our educational assessments and learning evaluations are designed to provide meaningful insight into how a learner thinks, processes information, performs academically, and responds to instruction.
We work with children, teens, college students, adults, and homeschool families to identify learning strengths, academic challenges, executive functioning patterns, processing differences, behavioral concerns, and personalized support needs.
Our evaluations are designed to support educational planning, intervention, accommodations, academic growth, and long-term success through research-based educational analysis and actionable recommendations.
WHAT WE ASSESS
Our evaluations examine multiple areas of learning, academic performance, processing, executive functioning, and behavioral functioning to create a comprehensive picture of the learner.
Areas may include:
• Academic Achievement

• Writing & Written Expression
• Math & Dyscalculia
• Executive Functioning & Attention Patterns
• Working Memory & Processing Skills
• Behavioral & Emotional Rating Scales
• Gifted & Twice-Exceptional (2e) Profiles
