Assessment Services

Psychoeducational Assessment

Psychoeducational assessment is often about supporting children, youth, and adults at school, but it is much more than that. You can think of a psychoeducational assessment as a sort of checkup looking at how someone learns, as well as how they interact with others and the world at large. We are very thorough in our approach to psychoeducational assessment, and we often look at cognitive abilities, academic skills, memory abilities, attention and executive functions, and social/emotional development -and we write all in an easy-to-understand report for you. It should go without saying that we are on the lookout for the unique strengths present within each person. 

Having an up-to-date psychoeducational assessment can be useful for self-understanding. It can also facilitate access to many kinds of assistance and support from elementary school all the way through post-secondary studies.

Gifted Assessment

Gifted Assessment

It is true that every single person is gifted with irreplaceable talents and energies. Gifted assessments, though, are a special type of assessment for children, youth, and adults who have particularly strong intellectual abilities. It is important to identify strengths with reasoning and logical problem solving because people with this type of profile require adjustments to the way education and training happens. Strong intellectual abilities often result in social and emotional challenges that require sensitivity and understanding, and most of all, compassionate self-awareness.

A gifted assessment may also be required to access specialized programming and schools that focus on gifted education. We are very experienced in providing this service.

Career/Vocational Assessment

Whether we are just starting out or in mid-career, it can be daunting to figure out what to do next. Ultimately, we will live much more meaningfully if we find jobs and careers that are a good match to who we are at our core. While this type of discovery is a lifelong journey, we would like to help along the way!

Autism Assessment - Lethbridge

Our approach to assessment for autism is to take a thorough and objective look at a child's development and current experience using psychological tools designed for this purpose. An autist assessment typically includes a detailed cognitive assessment, a structured interview with parents (ADI-R), and an experiential behavioural analysis (ADOS-II), as well as other supporting measures.

Presently, this service is limited to the Lethbridge zone.
