    Psychoeducational

    Psychological evaluations pinpoint both strong and weak aspects within a student's learning profile, addressing inquiries regarding cognitive, educational, social, emotional, behavioral, and adaptive capabilities. These evaluations are commonly administered to individuals across various age groups, spanning from young children to adults (Kindergarten to Grade 12).

    Autism (ASD)

    A Social-Emotional evaluation is carried out with the purpose of gaining deeper insight into an individual's internal experiences by delving into their emotions, thoughts, coping strategies, and perceptions of both themselves and the world around them. This type of assessment is advised when an individual displays emotional challenges (like anxiety or depression) or behavioral concerns.

    ADHD

    Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition characterized by a persistent struggle to manage attention, emotions, and conduct. ADHD is characterized by three primary behaviors: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Challenges with concentration, organization, patience, self-discipline, and possibly weak social abilities can persist into adulthood.

    Gifted

    Giftedness is recognized when a child's intellectual capacity (as measured by FSIQ or General Ability Index, GAI) falls within the range of 130 (+/- 5). Assessing giftedness is valuable in establishing whether a child meets the criteria for participation in specialized educational initiatives designed for those identified as gifted.
