The purpose of any good evaluation is to answer the referral question, identify strengths and weaknesses (and where they are likely to occur), and offer specific, clear and realistic recommendations.  Often, there are questions regarding diagnostic formulation (e.g. Traumatic Brain Injury, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Learning Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Social deficits, etc.), the need for academic accommodations, pharmacological support, and psychotherapy (individual, group, family, and biofeedback).
