Assessment

Do you have a child who is:

struggling at home or at school?
not meeting the milestones that you or their teachers would expect?
having difficulty with learning, behaviour, mood, attention, or social skills?
advanced in their learning and wanting some higher challenges out of school?

Or are you an adult who is:

having difficulty at home or work?
struggling with certain demands like reading, attention, motivation, or social connection?

An assessment can help you get answers to your questions.

A thorough exploration of verbal and nonverbal reasoning, memory, processing speed, academic performance, and how they’re feeling and engaging socially, emotionally, and behaviourally. This can be done for children, youth, and/or adults.
