Neuropsychological
A neuropsychological assessment primarily focuses on assessing cognitive functioning, behavior, and emotional functioning related to brain functioning. It involves a comprehensive evaluation of various cognitive domains such as attention, memory, executive functions, language, and visual-spatial skills. The goal is to understand the underlying neurocognitive processes and identify any brain-related difficulties or disorders that may be impacting a child or adolescent's learning and functioning.
PsychoEducational
A psycho-educational assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that focuses on assessing an individual's cognitive and academic abilities, as well as their emotional and behavioral functioning. It is commonly conducted for children, adolescents, and sometimes adults who are experiencing difficulties in academic settings or who may have learning disabilities.
Targeted
A targeted assessment focuses specifically on a single area of concern. This helps to provide information about a single area of concern. It does not provide a comprehensive consideration of the individual's functioning and other aspects of cognitive, academic or emotional functioning that may contribute to school or life difficulties.
Currently, these assessments are limited to ADHD and / or Executive Function Assessments for children over age 8 through adult.
