These customized assessments are tailored to evaluate the various learning styles or processing differences that may impact a person’s effectiveness at school, work, and in day-to-day functioning. Testing can encompass the following:
Giftedness
ADHD
Autism
Learning disabilities
Intellectual disabilities
Behavioural/emotional issues
Mental health issues (Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, etc.)
Parents/Caregivers
Children can have difficulties from time to time. However, if you find that your child continues to struggle even after accommodations have been provided, it would be wise to consider an assessment. Signs that your child might benefit from a psycho-educational assessment are academic difficulties, like processing instructions, or poor performance in reading, writing, spelling, or math. Additionally, there could be increased anxiety or school refusal, lack of motivation or internalizing behaviour. Alternately, a worsening outward attitude (uncharacteristic of your child or age-range) or disruptive behaviour, could also be the result of a child’s struggles with the academic material, and not just “bad” behaviour.
