FAQ
An assessment will help your child by providing a detailed understanding of what is getting in
their way, whether that is Autism, ADHD, anxiety, behavioral challenges or a learning difficulty.
The assessment results and a plan on how to help your child are summarized in a report that
you can share with their health care team (e.g., pediatrician, family doctor) and their school.
An assessment identifies what areas need to be supported so that your child can feel their best,
have better coping tools, and reach their full potential at school.
