Other Academic and Cognitive Assessment

- Giftedness in Children

- Other concerns about academic achievement
Our comprehensive cognitive assessments, including the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT), are invaluable tools designed to provide a nuanced understanding of a child's cognitive strengths and academic abilities. The WISC assesses key cognitive domains like verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed, offering insights that aid in tailoring effective educational strategies. Meanwhile, the WIAT focuses on academic skills such as reading, writing, and mathematics. These assessments are not about labelling; rather, they serve as guides to identify potential areas for support, whether it be addressing learning difficulties, recognizing giftedness, or pinpointing specific strengths. At Our Place Psychology, we believe in empowering parents and educators with the knowledge to create a supportive environment for every child's unique journey. If you have any questions or would like to explore how our assessments can benefit your child, we invite you to reach out and start a conversation with us.
