A full picture of how your child learns.
Something is getting in the way at school. You can feel it, even if you cannot name it yet. A psychoeducational assessment looks at three things together: how your child thinks, how they are learning, and how they are feeling. Cognitive abilities, academic functioning, and social-emotional health. You cannot get a full picture by looking at only one of them.
At Whole Kids Health, our psychoeducational assessments give your family that full picture. North York, Oakville, and across Ontario.
What a psychoeducational assessment can identify.
We do not begin with a diagnosis in mind. We begin with your child and the question your family is carrying.
A psychoeducational assessment gives you a clear picture of how your child thinks and learns, where their strengths are, and where things get harder. Sometimes that leads to identifying ADHD, a learning disability, autism, giftedness, or anxiety. Sometimes it is something less defined but just as important.
Either way, you leave with clarity. And clarity is where support actually begins.
Step 01
Cognitive testing
How your child thinks and reasons. This includes the ability to take in and process new information, hold things in working memory, plan and organize, and shift between ideas.
Step 02
Learning and academic testing
Reading, writing, spelling, math, and oral language. We look at where your child's academic skills are and how they relate to the broader learning profile.
Step 03
Socio-emotional testing
Questionnaires and clinical interviewing. Learning does not happen in isolation, and the emotional picture is part of a thorough assessment.
Step 04
Document review and interviews
Report cards, previous assessments, and conversations with parents, teachers, tutors, and therapists who know the child well.
Step 05
Written report
A clinical formulation with findings, any relevant diagnoses, and specific recommendations you can share with school and care providers.
Step 06
Feedback session
A dedicated appointment to walk through the results together, answer questions, and make sure the recommendations are workable for your family.
