Psychological Assessments

Psychological assessments provide a detailed understanding of an individual's strengths, needs, learning profile, behaviour, and emotional functioning. The type of assessment recommended depends on the questions you are hoping to answer.

​

Comprehensive Psycho-Educational Assessment

Best suited for understanding learning, academic performance, and overall cognitive functioning.

A comprehensive psycho-educational assessment provides an in-depth look at how an individual thinks, learns, remembers, pays attention, and performs academically. It can help identify learning strengths and challenges and determine whether additional educational supports or interventions may be helpful.

​

Areas that may be assessed include:

• 🧠 Cognitive abilities and memory

• 📚 Academic achievement

• 📖 Reading, writing, and mathematics

• 🎯 Attention and behaviour

• 🗂️ Executive functioning

• 🏠 Adaptive functioning

• 💬 Social and emotional functioning

• Behavioural and emotional concerns

Depending on the referral question, standardized measures may include tests of intelligence, academic achievement, phonological processing, visual-motor skills, attention, behaviour, and executive functioning. A comprehensive assessment may assist with identifying ADHD, Specific Learning Disorders, Intellectual Disabilities, anxiety, depression, tic disorders, and OCD, when diagnostic criteria are met.

​

Ages: 6 and up
Fee: $3,200
Scheduling: 4-, 6-, or 10-day options are available. The fee is inclusive regardless of how long it takes to complete the assessment.

​

Behavioural Psychological Assessment

Best suited for understanding attention, behaviour, executive functioning, and emotional functioning when an academic/learning assessment is not required.

A behavioural psychological assessment focuses on developing a profile of strengths and needs related to attention, behaviour, executive functioning, memory, and social/emotional functioning. It can also help identify appropriate educational and/or workplace accommodations, when warranted.

​

Areas assessed may include:

• 🎯 Attention

• 🧠 Memory

• 🗂️ Executive functioning

• Behaviour

• 💬 Social and emotional functioning

• Internalizing and externalizing behaviours

This type of assessment may assist with identifying ADHD, anxiety disorders, OCD, depressive disorders, and tic disorders, when diagnostic criteria are met.

​

Ages: 6 and up
Fee: $1,950
Format: Three sessions, including a background interview, in-person assessment, and results session.

 

Please note: A behavioural assessment does not include the comprehensive academic and cognitive testing required to assess for a Specific Learning Disorder in reading, writing, or mathematics, or an Intellectual Disability. If a learning disorder, detailed academic profile, or cognitive functioning is a concern, a comprehensive psycho-educational assessment is the more appropriate service.
