As a parent/caregiver of a child or teen, you always want the best for them. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, concerned, stressed, and frustrated when pursuing a clinical diagnosis. But you’re not alone. Our team is here to help you navigate the psychoeducational assessment process and guide your family along the way.
Canadian Psychotherapy Centre uses sophisticated testing methods to assess your child’s development and cognitive abilities. A psychoeducational assessment may be used to help determine if any development or learning challenges are present and your child’s areas of strength.
It’s hard to watch your child struggle in school or fall behind in their academic pursuits. A psychoeducational assessment involves a thorough review of a child’s development to identify any learning challenges. Using a variety of assessment tools, the practitioner can narrow down areas to focus on, as well as areas of strength. It may be used to help your child get educational support, a learning plan, or specific accommodations at school. The assessment can also help to dispel misconceptions about why the child may be falling behind or acting out and so forth
Our patient and caring psychologists will assess your child’s psychoeducational status. This involves:

These tests can identify weaknesses and disorders, as well as your child’s strengths and preferred learning styles. This can lead to more tailored and effective educational interventions — ultimately guiding your child toward success.
Upon scoring the above tests, your psychologist will determine the best step forward for you and your child. This may involve specific interventions or accommodations in school or for homework. It may also involve specific therapies or recommended strategies. As a result, your child receives the support they need to thrive and grow.
