For the 1 a.m. Googlers

Sound familiar? You are not alone, and you are not imagining it.

“Homework takes three hours and ends in tears.”

Yours, his, everybody’s. Even simple assignments turn into a nightly battle.

“The teacher’s emails start with just wanted to flag…”

Distracted in class, unfinished work, so much potential if only he would focus.

“You have tried everything and nothing sticks.”

Charts, timers, bribes, consequences. Your kid missed the memo on all of them.

“You Googled does my child have ADHD at 1 a.m.”

Hi. You are our people. Let’s replace the late-night spiraling with real answers.

An assessment tells you what is actually going on in your child’s brain, and exactly what to do about it. At home, at school, everywhere.

Assessments

Two assessments. One goal: understanding your child completely.

ADHD assessment testing session

ADHD Assessment & Diagnosis

For attention, focus and impulse concerns

Is it ADHD, or something else that looks like ADHD? Our comprehensive ADHD assessment looks at attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity across home and school, so the diagnosis is accurate and the plan actually fits your child.

  • In-depth parent interview about developmental history

  • Standardized behaviour rating scales from parents and teachers

  • One-on-one cognitive and attention screening with your child

  • Official ADHD diagnosis when criteria are met

  • Detailed report with home, school, and treatment recommendations

Psychoeducational academic testing session

Psychoeducational Assessment

For learning, school and academic struggles

When a bright child is falling behind at school, a psychoeducational assessment finds out why. We map your child’s full learning profile: cognitive strengths, academic skills, memory, processing speed, and social-emotional functioning.

  • Identifies dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia

  • Uncovers ADHD and other attention-related learning barriers

  • Measures IQ, memory, processing speed, and academic achievement

  • Official diagnosis plus a comprehensive written report

  • School-ready recommendations for IEPs and accommodations

Assessment plus treatment under one roof.
