Core Assessment Services for Spruce Grove Families

Our assessment team is comprised of psychologists specifically qualified to administer individual psychological tests and conduct thorough evaluations in an ethical, efficient, and insightful manner. 

Learning Assessment and Educational Planning

Understanding how a child learns is fundamental to educational success. Our psychoeducational evaluations combine intellectual testing with academic achievement measures and behavioral assessment to create a complete picture of learning capabilities. We analyze cognitive processing, memory functions, and academic skills to help students access appropriate educational supports.

ADHD Evaluation and Diagnosis

ADHD evaluations require careful analysis of attention, hyperactivity, and executive functioning across multiple settings. Our comprehensive approach includes cognitive testing, continuous performance measures, and detailed behavioral rating scales to provide accurate diagnosis and practical management recommendations for Spruce Grove families.

Autism Spectrum Disorder Evaluation

Autism spectrum evaluations utilize standardized diagnostic tools to assess social communication skills, repetitive behaviors, and sensory processing differences. Our thorough assessment process helps families understand autism characteristics and access appropriate intervention services.

Intellectual Giftedness Assessment

Intellectual assessments identify cognitive strengths and determine eligibility for gifted programming. These evaluations help Spruce Grove families understand exceptional abilities and advocate for appropriate educational challenges and enrichment opportunities.
