Who is this for?
Children & Teens
Most assessments are conducted for children and adolescents when there are concerns about development or school functioning.
When is an assessment helpful?
- Attention, focus, or hyperactivity (e.g. ADHD)
- Social or communication differences (e.g. autism)
- Learning or developmental delays
- Ongoing challenges in school
What the assessment may include
- Cognitive (IQ) testing
- Behavioural and developmental measures (e.g. Conners, GARS, Vineland)
- Clinical evaluation to understand your child's profile
The goal is to provide a clear understanding and guide appropriate support.
Adults
For adults, assessments may be helpful in understanding:
- Attention-related concerns (e.g. ADHD)
- Autism or long-standing social differences
- Patterns that have affected functioning over time
You may not always require a formal assessment. In some cases, these concerns can also be explored through therapy.
