Invigorate Education Programs

Testing and Evaluations

Testing and evaluations are available for children ages 12 months to 18 years of age.
Evaluations may take anywhere between 2-6 hours depending on your child’s needs and other factors. Many evaluations are scheduled to be completed in 2 sessions, which do not include the initial intake session.

A full evaluation will include:

● Reading (including fluency and phonemics), Mathematics and Writing Assessments
● Speech & Hearing Evaluation
● Testing for learning disabilities including ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism (PDD including
  Aspergers) etc.
● Cognitive Assessment
● Emotional/Psychological assessments, including those for school readiness

​

Depending on the needs of your child and your family, tests may be added
on or taken away.
If your child has and IEP, 504 Plan or SST plan those documents will need to be
provided to Invigorate Education prior to testing. If you do not have copies
of these documents, you may request them from the school, doctor or the
entity that tested your child.


Once testing is complete, please allow 7-14 days before test results will be
furnished to you.

Small Group Instruction

A small group at Invigorate Education never has more than 10 children. With small group instruction children receive reading, writing and mathematics assessments. These assessments are not the same as the comprehensive evaluations provided.
Small group instruction is offered multiple times per year. The class is limited
to 10 students. If your child is between the ages of 5 and 12 years, you are
more than welcome, if not encouraged, to enroll your child in small group instruction.

​

Small group instruction focuses on each students’ individual needs, while addressing the needs of the entire class. Students are grouped into classes based on age and current reading level.
