Learning, Psychological or Diagnostic Assessments
Psychological assessments of children and adolescents are available in various forms:
​
-
Learning or psychoeducational assessments
(i.e., assessment of cognitive abilities, memory, information processing, and academic achievement levels)
-
Diagnostic assessments
(i.e., to specifically assess for developmental disorders or mental health conditions such as anxiety, mood or thought disorders)
​
​
Assessments are intended to assist families in understanding more about why a child/youth may be struggling academically, socially, emotionally, and or psychologically. Assessment services can be ‘stand alone’ or lead to follow-up intervention services, at the request of a family.
-
Comprehensive psychological assessments
(i.e., psychoeducational assessment + socioemotional assessment which explores a child’s sense of self, family, and screens for anxiety, depression etc.),
