There are a variety of assessments that I can offer.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong developmental condition thought to affect around 1 in 100 children. ASD is diagnosed more frequently in boys, currently at a ratio of around 4:1. The exact causes of ASD are unclear; research strongly suggests there is a genetic basis to ASD, however environmental factors may also play a role in the onset and development of ASD symptoms in a genetically predisposed child.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic condition that impacts an individual’s emotions, behaviours, and the ability to learn new things. It mainly affects children but can also occur in adults.
Cognitive/Intellectual Assessment
Cognitive/Intellectual assessments involve observing and assessing the child in the clinic setting. During these assessments, the child completes different activities such as working out patterns, providing definitions, answering general knowledge questions, and remembering number sequences.
