Psychodiagnostic Assessment
We recognize that informal assessment is an essential component of psychological treatment. A thorough understanding of our patients and their life circumstances is instrumental to the treatment process. We also conduct formal, stand-alone Psychodiagnostic Assessments for children, adolescents, and adults to determine individuals’ psychological (mental health) status and functioning (e.g., diagnoses) and associated needs for various purposes other than to inform our own provision of treatment. Our Psychodiagnostic Assessments are both comprehensive and highly tailored to individuals and their presenting concerns.
Psychoeducational Assessment
We provide Psychoeducational Assessments for children (beyond grade 2), adolescents, and adults. These comprehensive assessments involve the examination of cognitive and academic functioning, as well as various information processing skills essential to learning (e.g., memory, processing speed, phonological processing, visual-motor integration). In addition to identifying learning disabilities, our Psychoeducational Assessments can detect other sorts of impairments that may compromise cognitive performance, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), executive functioning difficulties, and adaptive skills deficits. Finally, these assessments screen for mental health concerns and, if warranted, a more comprehensive Psychodiagnostic Assessment will be recommended based on these preliminary mental health findings.
The results of Psychoeducational Assessments can inform practical recommendations for supporting learning at home and school or functioning in the workplace. All assessments include the production of a written report that can be used in the school system to assist in the development of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). For adults, the report can be used to facilitate accommodations at post-secondary educational institutions or the workplace.
Professional Consultation
We offer consultation for health care practitioners who are seeking support with respect to a specific case, a particular area of practice, or an aspect of professional development.
Telepsychology
For the majority of our services, we offer the option of attending by phone or via a secure online video platform, called Jane. Jane video accords with all relevant provincial and federal privacy laws. All video data is encrypted in transit and personal information is never recorded or stored. Jane video is also extremely easy to use. No software or downloads are required. You can begin your session with one simple click.
