Comprehensive Behavioral Assessment
Gain a 360-degree view of your child's mental health and behavior by tapping into observations from multiple perspectives: self-report, parent feedback, and teacher insights.
This approach paints a fuller picture of your child's emotions, behaviors, academic performance, and social interactions, compared to their same-aged peers. It is especially useful for identifying potential signs of childhood disorders and addressing common concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, and social challenges.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Evaluation
Understand your child's Emotional Intelligence (EQ)-their ability to recognize, manage, and navigate their own emotions and connect with others in meaningful ways.
Emotional intelligence focuses on the capacity to identify, use, understand, and manage emotions. This evaluation measures key skills such as empathy, self-awareness, peer relationships, and social communication, providing valuable insights into your child's social abilities and outlook.
Why is Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Testing important to child/adolescent development?
Emotional intelligence may act as a protective factor that decreases a child's likelihood of engaging in maladaptive behaviours and school problems. Research indicates that children with higher EQ scores received higher teacher ratings of social and emotional competencies
Executive Function Analysis
Executive function skills are the building blocks of a child's success in academics, relationships, and daily life.
The screener evaluates your child's strengths and weaknesses in areas like attention, emotion regulation, cognitive flexibility, organization, planning, and working memory. With this data in hand, you can support your child in cultivating better habits, strategies, and coping mechanisms to tackle everyday challenges.
Parent-Child Relationship Assessment
How strong is the bond between you and your child? This crucial dimension offers insight into attachment styles, communication quality, discipline practices, and parent involvement-all of which are essential in fostering a healthy relationship with your child.
By understanding these dynamics, you can strengthen your parenting approach and nurture a positive, meaningful connection that benefits your child's mental health.
