    Treatment sessions are typically structured using the COPE Program developed by Dr. Clarke at the clinic

Types of Assessment:

1. Educational Psychological Assessment: 

  • Provides a comprehensive profile of strengths and weaknesses by examining a student’s cognitive development, memory, information processing, fine motor and academic skills, as well as one’s adaptive and/or social-emotional functioning
  • Direct services typically consist of an intake interview with the parent/guardian(s), approximately 2 to 3 testing sessions that each last approximately 2 to 3 hours, and a final feedback session
  • Information is also gathered through an initial phone consultation, assessment observations, standardized testing and questionnaires, and a review of relevant child records
  • Acquiring information from your child’s school may also be beneficial but this is only collected with appropriate consent
  • Findings from the psychological assessment may or may not result in the following diagnostic condition(s): Specific Learning Disorder, Developmental Disability, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and/or contribute to the diagnosis of another psychiatric disorder
  • Feedback of the results is usually provided in a face-to-face meeting and in the form of a written report 
  • Recommendations related to your child’s mental health, learning, and educational needs are also provided for both home and school environments (total assessment = 16 hours)

2. Diagnostic Psychological Assessment:

  • Assessment process varies depending on the type of service(s) rendered but standardized testing of academic achievement is usually not necessary
  • Investigates various psychiatric and behaviour disorders in which differential diagnoses are generally required (e.g., ASD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, anger and behaviour concerns)
  • Typically includes an intake interview, at least one testing session, and a feedback session
  • Cognitive profiles are also available which may assist in the diagnosis of an intellectual disability or exceptionality related to giftedness
  • While testing may be completed at the clinic to contribute to the assessment of Alcohol-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (a.k.a., FASD), the final diagnosis is made by a medical doctor with the coordination of a local multi-disciplinary team

3. Trauma & Crisis Management:

  • Brief assessments conducted to measure a client’s needs and level of risk, and to assist with treatment programming, case management, and the coordination of services
  • Formal diagnoses are unlikely provided at this time due to the limited time available to gather the information necessary to perform a true differential

DISCLAIMER: Total cost varies according to the objective(s) of the assessment, needs and complexity of the case, as well as the time spent delivering psychological services. Any changes and/or additional costs will be discussed prior to proceeding with services.
