What is a psycho-educational assessment?

A psycho-educational assessment helps identify how a person learns and develops across various areas, including language, writing math, behaviors, and emotions. assessment is suitable for children aged 6 and older, as well as teens and adults, and aims to uncover any issues that may impact academic performance, work, relationships, or emotional well-being. It can identify learning disorders, intellectual disabilities, ADHD, and more, and includes a cognitive assessment, mental health evaluation, written report, and a debrief session. If you or your child are facing challenges with language, reading, memory, attention, or academic performance, a psycho-educational assessment can provide valuable insights to support your growth and success.

What is a Mental Health Diagnostic Query Assessment?

A Diagnostic Query is a review of present mental health functioning for adults to plan for treatment, specifically to identify attention, mood, or anxiety-based disorders. It is not a comprehensive psychological assessment, and therefore, is relatively brief in comparison to a comprehensive assessment.

​

Who will complete the assessment?

Your/your child’s assessment will be completed by our Provisional Psychologist, Florencia. She works with you/your child through the entire assessment process. Florencia has over 15 years of experience working with people from many different backgrounds and abilities levels. She loves helping others learn about themselves. She provides assessment in Spanish and English. Learn more about Florencia.

​

What does the assessment involve?

Florencia will gather information by asking questions, doing activities and talking to others  (teachers, parents, spouses, etc.) to learn about you/your child. This process takes several sessions and can take a few weeks to finish. At the end, you will have a report that explains what you/your child is good at and what you/your child might need help with. You will also have strategies, helpful resources, and individualized supports to help you/your child. Florencia will review all the information with you to make sure that she answers your questions and that you understand the report.

​

The report can be used to get special help, like extra time or special tools, at school, the workplace or in other places. It can also help the person and their family understand their strengths and weaknesses and feel more confident in asking for help. At Cochrane Counselling Centre, we believe in helping people find understanding, build confidence, and reach their full potential. We provide follow-up sessions to make sure that everyone is supported and understands their assessment completely.

​

How is the cost of the assessment determined?

The cost of a psychological assessment can vary based on several factors, including the type of assessment being conducted and how long it takes. Some assessments are straight forward, while others take more time because they are more complex. The cost includes direct time, the time you spend with the Psychologist, and indirect time, the time they take to decode the results and write the report. The total cost is based on the hourly rate of the Psychologist, $200/hour and both direct and indirect time is reflected in the invoice and calculate in the total price. Typically a range is estimated up front to allow for differences between individuals. Please reach out and consult directly with Florencia to get an accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs.
