Psychometric Testing

Clinical psychologists, Jessica Taylor, Jessica Chung-Beilharz, Heidi Brummert Lennings, Janice Tang and Cassandra Thompson, offer psychometric testing for children age 6 years and older, adolescents and adults. They have extensive clinical experience working with children, families, adolescents, and adults, as well as a particular interest and expertise in psychometric assessment.

IQ and academic testing can provide important information about an individual's cognitive strengths and weaknesses, academic needs, and preferred learning style. This can assist the individual in making educational choices and implementing strategies to ensure that their learning style is appropriately supported.

Specific reasons for testing include:

• Learning difficulties or delays (e.g. difficulties with spelling, writing, maths and/or reading)
• Giftedness
• Underachievement
• Emotional and/or behavioural problems presenting in the classroom and/or at home
• Admission to special educational programs (e.g., enrichment, extension and acceleration programs)
• Increasing understanding of an individual's learning style
• Concerns regarding possible attentional difficulties
• Queried autism spectrum diagnosis
