Comprehensive Psychological Assessments
We offer a child- and family-centred approach to psychological assessments, diagnosis, and treatment for learning challenges, neurodevelopmental disorders, and mental health challenges. We value the assessment process and utilize theoretical assessment knowledge to provide the best care and evidence-based services for our clients.
While our Therapists can work effectively with children and families without a diagnosis, sometimes a psychological assessment is helpful in identifying or ruling out specific challenges to support a family’s understanding of their child’s strengths, challenges, and exceptionalities. There are also times when a diagnosis is required for certain interventions, accommodations, or funding.
Our Psychology Team is highly skilled with excellent clinical judgement and offers a warm, down-to-earth approach to assessment.
