While both roles involve working with children and education, a Psychoeducational Assessment focuses on evaluating learning and cognitive abilities through testing, often in private or clinical settings. A School Psychologist provides broader mental health and behavioral support within schools, including conducting assessments but also offering counseling and intervention services.
