DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS
Psychological Assessments, Neuropsychological Assessments & Psychoeducational Assessments
are offered to assess the following areas and conditions: Intellectual Ability, Achievement / Learning Difficulties, Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, and Depressive Disorders.
A psychological evaluation process is complex and requires a comprehensive approach.
First, it's important to take the time necessary to get to know the child and his/her family, specific concerns related to learning and behaviour, and the child’s educational, psychological and medical history before conducting a thorough and comprehensive psychological evaluation.
Following, the child receives an individualized assessment battery based upon his/her specific needs which forms the cornerstone of our psychological assessments.
Would you like to find out if your child
is intellectually gifted or
has specific academic concerns?
