Welcome to our Child Assessment section. At the Comprehensive
Psychological Assessment Centre (CPAC) we offer safe
and friendly environments to assess children's intellectual,
academic, developmental and behavioural/emotional functioning. We
provide academic testing to evaluate school readiness, the presence
of learning difficulties or disabilities (e.g., Dyslexia)
and to find out children's general intellectual abilities (IQ)
and academic strengths and weaknesses. We conduct diagnostic
assessments to identify children with various emotional, behavioural
and developmental disorders, such as ADHD, depression,
anxiety, developmental delay and Autism Spectrum Disorders
(ASD).
These services are provided by a small
team of experienced clinical and developmental psychologists with
extensive knowledge working with children and families. The
centre's psychologists are committed to ongoing training and
education and we can give parents the most up to date advice about
their children. We regularly conduct diagnostic
assessments and prepare reports for different purposes,
including information for parents, schools, pediatricians and the
Children's Court.
On the following pages we collected a
wealth of information about the different areas of children's
functioning that we can assess. We also included a general section
about the testing process. Although these pages provide answers for
most questions parents regularly ask, we welcome
your enquiries and we are always happy to discuss specific
concerns.
