Psychological assessments can provide detailed information about an individual's strengths, areas of need, learning profile, development, behaviour, and mental health.
Our assessment services may include developmental, psychoeducational, autism-specific, and ADHD-specific testing. Assessments use information from standardized testing, direct observation, and, when appropriate, input from parents, school staff, or others involved in the individual's life.
A written report is provided at the end of the assessment process and outlines testing results, diagnostic considerations, applicable referrals, and practical recommendations.
An assessment may help:
- Identify strengths and areas requiring additional support
- Clarify diagnostic considerations
- Inform learning strategies and school accommodations
- Support IEP and IPRC planning
- Identify appropriate post-secondary or workplace accommodations
- Provide documentation for applicable programs, services, or benefits
