What is a Psychological Evaluation?

Based on science and training, evaluations help pinpoint how children learn and process the world around them by identifying, assessing and measuring a range of skills and issues tailored to the individual child. Specific tests are used to identify:

• cognitive skills
• social skills
• language abilities, including the social/emotional use of language
• short-term and long-term memory
• non-verbal reasoning skills
• Attention Deficit Disorder
• Executive Function skills
• coping skills
• self-esteem issues
• educational skills set
• learning style

Based on the findings and in collaboration with the parents, a specific plan of action is tailored for each child.

What should I tell my child about the testing?

We suggest you focus on the positive and explain that we want to find out what they like best about learning, what do they struggle with, and what is the best way to teach/guide them. We want to know what they enjoy most and what they least enjoy.

The sessions will include challenging and enjoyable mind games and puzzles, drawing, computer testing and story telling.

We aim to make the sessions fun, and a feedback session is arranged for your child (which would be appropriate for their development level) so that the child could see how our work in the office is of direct benefit to them.
