Who We Are & What We Do
Psycho-Educational consists of an experienced and professionals team of two including Elizabeth Nesbitt who is a Psycho-Educational Examiner and Dr. Henry B. Venema who is the Ph.D., Child Psychologist specialist. With over 35+ years experience in working with children, together they have made it their mission to assess children, and adolescents to identify learning challenges and/or disabilities. We also assess mature adults looking for answers regarding their struggles acquiring on-the-job training and/or advancement within their present employment placement. Using the latest tools and a battery of tests, we are able to determine an individual’s overall intelligence (IQ), particular learning style, information processing abilities/deficits and academic skills. In conclusion, we provide the parents or individual with recommendations based on results that will ease the learning process and maximize potential.
