Our Assessment Services
We understand the unique needs of children and youth, which is why our assessments cover a wide range of developmental, academic, and behavioral challenges. Our goal is to provide clear insights into a child’s strengths and areas for growth, helping you access the right support to promote their well-being and success. Here are some of the services we offer:
Learning Disorder Assessments
Learning disorders can significantly impact a child’s academic performance and overall confidence. Our assessments for learning disorders target specific areas such as reading, writing, mathematics, and non-verbal communication. By identifying and understanding the nature of the learning challenge, we provide clear recommendations and pathways for tailored interventions and support.
Developmental Disorder Assessments
When addressing developmental concerns, we conduct thorough psychological assessments to explore various components of your child’s development. This includes psycho-educational assessments, behavioral assessments, academic evaluations, and neuropsychological assessments, all of which work together to create a comprehensive understanding of your child’s unique needs and provide a solid foundation for appropriate intervention.
Behavioral Assessments
Behavioral assessments focus on understanding the underlying causes of specific behaviors. Whether you're concerned about attention, emotional regulation, or social interactions, these assessments provide valuable insights into what may be contributing to the challenges your child is facing. By identifying behavioral patterns, we can help determine the most effective approaches for supporting your child’s growth and emotional well-being.
Intellectually Advanced Assessments
For children with intellectual gifts or advanced abilities, our intellectually advanced assessments help parents and educators understand their unique cognitive strengths and potential challenges. This allows for more informed educational decisions and ensures that children receive the appropriate support to reach their full potential in a nurturing environment.
Parental Assessments
Parental assessments offer a comprehensive look at your parenting strengths and areas for growth. These assessments help identify potential mental health challenges, parenting strategies, and overall family dynamics, providing guidance on how to create a healthier home environment for your child. By addressing your unique needs as a parent, we help you feel more confident and empowered in your parenting journey.
PN7 Assessments (High-Conflict Divorce)
During high-conflict divorces or separations involving children, a Practice Note 7 (PN7) assessment may be required. This intervention provides the Court with expert insights into the family dynamics, helping to ensure the child’s best interests are protected. Our psychologists conduct PN7 assessments to provide clear, unbiased recommendations that support healthy family resolutions.
PN8 (Custody & Access) Assessments
When parenting disputes remain unresolved and custody decisions are in question, a Practice Note 8 (PN8) assessment is often necessary. This type of assessment evaluates the dynamics between parents and children to provide the Court with expert guidance regarding custody and access arrangements, ensuring that decisions are made with the child’s well-being as the priority.
Psychoeducational Assessments
Psychoeducational assessments identify intellectual, academic, or learning delays, enabling parents and caregivers to seek appropriate interventions. These assessments are essential in securing educational support, resources, or funding that will enhance your child’s learning experience and promote academic success.
