ASSESSMENT
Cognitive assessments (also referred to as psycho-educational assessment) are often used to identify special learning needs and to assess academic strengths and challenges, most often in students but also adults.
School programs often require a formal assessment in order to offer increased supports to their students; whether they are facing a learning disability such as dyslexia, behavioral issues caused by ADHD, or acceptance into a gifted student program. Although schools may be able to offer in-house assessments, there is often a long waiting list so parents may opt to schedule with a private psychologist to have it completed sooner.
The process can feel daunting but our psychologists will be happy to speak directly to your school to decide what assessment is required to be sure to measure only what is needed, saving you money and time.
Cognitive assessments can also help identify concerns related to ADHD, anxiety and other behavioral concerns to assist with treatment planning.
