Psychoeducational assessments provide a detailed understanding of how someone learns — including cognitive ability, academic skills, and information processing. They help identify learning strengths and challenges, and are commonly used to support school planning, accommodations, and admissions decisions. These assessments are typically completed for children and adolescents (Kindergarten through Grade 12), and in some cases, adults.

Autism (ASD) assessments provide a structured evaluation of social communication, behavioural patterns, and developmental history. They help determine whether someone meets criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder and offer guidance for supports, accommodations, and next steps. These assessments are typically completed from around age 3 onward, and can also be conducted for adolescents and adults.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects how someone regulates attention, impulses, and behaviour. It often shows up as difficulty with focus, organization, follow-through, and managing distractions. While it’s commonly identified in childhood, these patterns frequently continue into adolescence and adulthood. ADHD assessments can be completed for children, adolescents, and adults.

A cognitive assessment evaluates how someone thinks and processes information — including areas such as reasoning, memory, attention, and processing speed. It helps identify cognitive strengths and challenges, and how these impact day-to-day functioning, learning, and problem-solving. In some cases, nonverbal measures may be used to assess cognitive functioning without relying heavily on language. This can be useful for those with English as a second language.

A mental health assessment provides a structured evaluation of emotional and psychological functioning — including mood, coping patterns, behaviour, and overall functioning. It is used to support diagnostic clarification (such as anxiety, depression, or related concerns) and to guide treatment recommendations and next steps.
