Assessments
Psychological assessments are comprehensive evaluations that use standardized testing, clinical interviews, and behavioral observations to understand an individual's cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. At Cove Centre, we provide two primary types of assessments to meet different needs and answer specific questions about learning, development, and mental health.
Psychoeducational Assessments focus on academic and learning-related concerns, evaluating cognitive abilities, academic skills, and information processing to identify learning disabilities, ADHD, and educational needs. These assessments help determine appropriate accommodations and support strategies for school or workplace success.
Psychodiagnostic Assessments examine mental health and emotional functioning to clarify diagnoses and guide treatment planning. These comprehensive evaluations assess conditions such as:
ADHD and attention difficulties
Mood disorders
Trauma-related concerns
Personality and behavioral patterns
Developmental and social-emotional functioning
Our assessment process typically involves multiple appointments and results in a detailed report with clear explanations, diagnostic impressions when appropriate, and practical recommendations tailored to your specific situation. Whether you're seeking answers about learning challenges, mental health concerns, or developmental questions, our assessments provide the clarity needed to access appropriate supports and services.
