This resource provides a structured reference to support the interpretation of cognitive abilities commonly discussed in school-based psychoeducational evaluations. It includes observable characteristics and score-band–aligned interpretive summaries written in language consistent with school psychology reports.
Each cognitive area includes examples of how the ability may present in educational settings and how performance within a score range may be interpreted. This tool is intended to help school psychologists and teams know where to begin when explaining cognitive data during IEP meetings and report writing.
Interpretation of cognitive data is complex and should always consider the individual student’s full learning profile and multiple sources of information. This resource is designed as a professional reference and does not replace comprehensive evaluation or professional judgment.
Cognitive areas included:
Comprehension Knowledge
Fluid Reasoning
Auditory Processing
Phonological Processing
Visual Processing
Processing Speed
Short-Term Memory
Long-Term Storage and Retrieval
Orthographic Processing
Attention
Sensory-Motor Integration
