Assesment

In my practice I conduct comprehensive psychological assessments for children, adolescence, adults, families and offenders. These diagnostic assessments are conducted for a variety of concerns including:

• Learning difficulties, poor grades, etc.
• Attention Deficit Dyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Behavioural problems
• Developmental delays
• Giftedness
• Low mood, sadness, depression
• Worry, anxiety, fears, OCD
• Relationship difficulties
• Family problems
• Risk to re-offend assessments 

The assessment results are used to determine a client’s social, emotional, behavioral as well as their learning profile.  In functioning terms of their strengths and weaknesses. Results are based on the following:

• Language processing
• Cognitive/Intellectual potential (IQ)
• Visual and verbal memory/learning style
• Attention, concentration, and executive functions
• Social-emotional functioning
• Academic achievement in reading, writing, and mathematics
• Risk/need areas for targeted interventions
• Adjustment related issues

Following the assessment, I provide verbal and written feedback that includes diagnostic statements where appropriate and practical recommendations for home, school, and the classroom. I offer consultation to parents and school staff regarding classroom accommodations and educational programming.
