At the initial assessment, you will be asked to provide relevant school records (report cards, documented adaptations, IPPs ), and additional previous assessments such as reports from Speech-Language Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, previous cognitive assessments)
You will meet the Psychologist for an initial appointment to allow information to be gathered coupled with a description of the areas of difficulties that prompted the appointment. During the initial assessment, the Psychologist takes the opportunity to gather information about the child/adolescent and their family and decided whether or not a Psychoeducational Assessment is required. If not required, alternative options will be discussed.
If a Psychoeducational Assessment is required, consent forms will be signed to collaborate with the child/adolescents teacher.
