High achievement is just the beginning.
Learning Abilities Evaluations
Every child has a unique learning profile. Understanding how they process information, solve problems, retain knowledge, and approach learning can provide valuable insights that help them continue to excel not just academically, but throughout life.
Why Consider a Learning Abilities Evaluation?
Our Learning Abilities Evaluation is designed for parents who want a deeper understanding of their child’s strengths and opportunities for growth, so they can make informed decisions about their education and future development.
Even high-performing students may:
✔️ Learn more efficiently in one style than another.
✔️ Have exceptional strengths that haven’t been fully developed.
✔️ Experience unnecessary stress despite strong grades.
✔️ Benefit from learning strategies tailored to how they think.
✔️ Be capable of achieving even more with the right support.
Understanding your child’s learning profile can help unlock opportunities that traditional academic results alone may not reveal.
Every High-Achieving Child Has a Unique Learning Profile
Our experienced educational psychologists use evidence-based assessments to provide a deeper understanding of your child’s unique learning profile. Backed by over 20 years of expertise, here’s why a Learning Abilities Evaluation can make a lasting difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our incredible team is distributed throughout California and are available to meet with you and your child in-person or virtually to complete our educational assessment(s).
When your child is struggling and despite their effort, they are still struggling academically, a psychoeducational evaluation might be the answer. The psychoeducational evaluation answers the “WHY” to why your child is struggling. By taking a comprehensive dive into your child’s
cognitive abilities, academic achievement, and processing skills, we are able to understand and address all learning difficulties and specifically look at areas of concern like dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, to name a few. A psychoeducational evaluation helps pinpoint the exact areas your child struggles and gives you a roadmap towards intervention.
Does your child struggle academically, have difficulty focusing, show signs of learning challenges despite effort and support or exhibit social-emotional and behavioral issues, an educational assessment can provide the “WHY” behind these concerns and can help lay out a roadmap to intervention.
Our process begins with scheduling a clarity call where you can discuss your frustrations and concerns. Based on this discussion, we match you with the most suitable team member to start the evaluation.
We understand the urgency and are ready to begin testing right away, moving at a pace that suits your needs. Throughout the process, we keep you informed and updated. Once the evaluation is complete, we present the results in a clear and understandable meeting, providing you with actionable recommendations.
An evaluation with Cornerstone can move at the pace you want. Most of our families want to move quickly, and we love to jump in and complete the evaluation as quickly as you need. The typical timeframe is 3 to 4 weeks, but it can be quicker if needed.
Our evaluations are conducted by licensed evaluators and can help support the need for accommodations, a 504 Accommodation Plan, or even an IEP. Often, schools prefer to conduct their own evaluations for an IEP, but the evaluation through Cornerstone can lay the framework for displaying the need.
An educational assessment provides a thorough understanding of your child’s strengths and challenges. It offers actionable recommendations for tailored interventions, which can improve academic performance, enhance emotional well-being, and address behavioral issues. Without an evaluation, most parents are guessing as to what area to focus intervention but with a full evaluation, you know EXACTLY where to focus so time and money are saved.
The cost of an educational assessment varies depending on the type and scope of the evaluation. Please contact us for specific pricing and to discuss your needs.
Typically NO, but we are able to provide a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement, and some parents are able to have the evaluations covered by insurance, but typically they are not covered.
