Psychological Assessments

What are Psychological Assessments?

The evaluation of a person's behavior, abilities, and other characteristics, particularly for the purposes of making a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or different career options and work environments. 

Individuals refer themselves for psychological assessments when there are concerns about:
  • Specific queries about developmental or mental health problems (e.g. depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or substance use)
  • Feelings of distress, low motivation, sadness, anxiety, poor self-concept, or difficulty with friendships
  • Difficulty with attention and/or behavior at home, school, or work
  • Deciding post-secondary options, careers, a change in career, or return to work after an accident or injury

What are Psycho-educational Assessments?

A psycho-educational assessment involves examining how an individual is developing in regards to the psychological processes that underlie learning (e.g., language processing, phonological processing, fine-motor/graphomotor processing, executive functioning, visual-spatial processing, processing speed, and working memory); their acquisition of academic skills in reading, writing and math; and their social/emotional and behavioral functioning (e.g., attention and concentration, depression, anxiety). These assessments are completed with children, adolescents, and adults to help identify underlying disabilities (e.g., Learning Disabilities, ADHD, associated disorders) which may be impacting their academic/work, social, and/or overall psychological well-being.
