Specializing in Psycho-Educational and ADHD Assessments
Who do we work with?
Our psycho-educational and ADHD assessments are provided for children and adolescents.
Psycho-educational assessments assist in determining why an individual is having challenges with learning. Psycho-educational assessments help to identify individual learning strengths, needs and processing deficits, as well as determine appropriate adaptations/accommodations to support the student in academic settings.
ADHD assessments examine difficulties with inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity that may be interfering with daily functioning at school, home and/or in places of employment.
How does it work?
The assessment typically involves working one-on-one with the assessor for a full-day or over the course of two or three half days, depending on the age of the person being assessed and their individual needs. The assessment also involves interviews with parents/guardians and/or teachers as appropriate. A comprehensive written report is provided that includes test results, diagnostic findings and individualized recommendations. A client and/or parent feedback meeting is also provided to discuss the assessment results.
