Assessment Services:
Are you concerned about whether your child’s needs are being fully addressed at school? Are you interested in gaining a deeper understanding of your educational and/or professional strengths and abilities?
The assessment component of our services addresses school-related issues such as learning
disabilities, giftedness, academic skill levels (strengths and weaknesses), intellectual potential, post-secondary school planning, vocational planning,
and ADHD. Our in-depth individual assessments identify areas of strength and challenge in a student’s learning profile. The assessments are designed to
assist individuals to reach their full potential and to make realistic and obtainable decisions regarding future education and career paths.
Psychoeducational Assessments help to clarify needs by evaluating cognitive potential, learning aptitudes, academic skills, and other factors that
influence success at elementary school, secondary school, college, university and the workplace. We will identify areas of strength and uncover any
specific factors that may be interfering with learning or occupational success. Issues related to Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and social/emotional concerns are also addressed. Following the assessment, which is typically conducted over two
half-days, we will meet with you to clearly explain the assessment findings and to discuss specific recommendations. A comprehensive written report
is provided.

Gifted Assessments: Is your child receiving the challenge and stimulation that allows for optimal development and success at school? A half-day assessment will provide you
with detailed information about your child’s intellectual and academic abilities. We will meet with you to discuss recommendations as to the best
educational program for your child. A detailed written report is provided.
Social/Emotional/Behavioural Assessments:
Social/emotional difficulties are also investigated through the assessment process. Challenges such as anxiety disorders, test anxiety, fears, phobias,
stress, and anger management are evaluated through observation, assessment, and in-depth interviewing.
Psychovocational Assessments: Evaluate learning aptitudes, academic skills, and vocational interests. Through the assessment process we will identify
areas of strength and uncover any specific barriers to occupational success. Issues related to Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD), cognitive delays, and mental health concerns are also addressed. The assessment typically takes place over two half-days. Once the
report is completed a feedback session is scheduled to clearly explain the results and discuss the specific recommendations. A comprehensive written
report is provided.
