Psycho-Educational and Social/ Emotional Development Assessments

Psycho-Educational Assessments are provided to better understand your child’s needs to support their learning and promote their ability to meet their academic and personal potential.

We can clarify if your child has an unidentified Learning Disorder and/or a clinical disorder of attention (ADHD) and investigate the reasons your child may be having behavioural, social and emotional struggles.

By learning the underlying causes of these learning and social/emotional difficulties parents and school staff are better able to help your child achieve his or her best. Access to academic accommodations and strategies through the development of an Individual Education Plan (IEP) will be recommended, as well as school and community resources.

Social/Emotional Developmental Assessments

Social/Emotional Development Assessments are offered to provide information about your child’s social development, emotional regulation and emerging self-management skills and is targeted for the young learner between the ages of four and six, as they enter the school environment.

Clinical Assessments for ADHD – Adolescents, Adults

A Clinical Assessment for ADHD is designed for older adolescents and adults to better understand a longstanding history of difficulties with attention/concentration, organizational and goal setting/attainment in cases where there are no concerns related to specific academic skills (reading/writing/math) for university and college students and for those adults in the workforce. Through clinical interviews and standardized questionnaires, a thorough development history is established, as well as a review of current social/emotional functioning in order to understand the underlying causes of symptoms that may be related to ADHD. The nature of this assessment does not include the cognitive/memory/achievement psychometric testing provided in a complete psycho-educational assessment, which reduces the cost of this service substantially.
