Understanding your child's and family's needs

Psychoeducational Assessments

To gain meaningful insight into your child’s strengths and challenges so that we can recommend the best ways to support your child’s development and well-being.

Cognitive & Intellectual Assessments

Clarify how a child learns by understanding their unique thinking and problem-solving styles.

These assessments explore core mental abilities such as:

• Verbal and non-verbal reasoning

• Memory and attention

• Processing speed

• Problem-solving and critical thinking skills

This insight helps uncover a child’s learning profile—highlighting strengths to build on and areas that may benefit from support.

Diagnostic Assessments

A formal assessment helps to identify or rule out specific learning, developmental, or psychological conditions that may be impacting your child's ability to learn, function, or thrive in everyday settings.

A diagnosis, when appropriate, provides clarity and access to targeted support. It guides practical recommendations to enhance learning, emotional well-being, and everyday functioning—both at school and at home.

They can help determine whether challenges are related to:

• Specific Learning Disorders

  (e.g. Dyslexia, Dyscalculia)

• ADHD or attention-related difficulties

• Autism

• Developmental Delays or

  Intellectual Disability

Understand how a child is performing in key areas of learning—and uncover why they may be struggling or excelling. These assessments evaluate core academic skills such as Reading, Writing, Mathematics and Oral Language.

By comparing a child’s academic performance to age or grade-level expectations—and to their cognitive abilities—these assessments can help identify:

• Specific Learning Disorders

  (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia)

• Gaps in academic skills that may require targeted support

• Giftedness or advanced learning needs

• The impact of attention, memory,

  or emotional factors on learning

This comprehensive understanding helps guide meaningful support strategies at school and home.

Learning & Academic Assessments

Assessment for Access Arrangements /

Exam Accommodations

Determine whether a student needs additional support to demonstrate their true abilities in exams or standardised testing.

Assessment results help identify whether challenges—such as processing speed, attention, anxiety, or written expression—may be affecting performance. Based on the findings, recommendations can be made for appropriate access arrangements or accommodations (e.g., extra time, a quiet setting, use of a computer).

The goal is to ensure that assessments reflect a student’s actual knowledge and capabilities—not the barriers they may face in expressing them.

Social Emotional Behavioural Assessments

Explore emotional, behavioural, and social factors that may impact learning and everyday functioning.

These assessments help understand how a child manages emotions, interacts with others, and responds to challenges in their environment. The aim is to identify any emotional or behavioural difficulties that may be affecting their learning, relationships, or daily life—and to guide supportive strategies, targeted interventions, or referrals when needed.

Areas assessed may include:

• Mood and emotional regulation

  (e.g., signs of anxiety, depression)

• Behaviour patterns

  (e.g., impulsivity, defiance, aggression)

• Social skills and relationships

  (e.g., peer interactions, communication)

• Attention, self-regulation,

  and executive functioning

• Coping strategies and stress response
