Understanding Behavioural Assessments

Cognitive assessments evaluate various aspects of your child’s thinking abilities, such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and reasoning skills. These assessments help identify cognitive strengths and areas that may need support. At Unbound Minds, we offer comprehensive cognitive assessments for children to help them achieve their full potential.

Why Get Your Child Assessed?

Getting your child assessed for cognitive abilities can provide valuable insights into their mental functioning. Knowing your child’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses can:

  • Help you understand their learning profile and how they process information.
  • Provide explanations for any cognitive challenges they may be facing.
  • Open up access to targeted educational resources and support.
  • Guide you in advocating for your child’s needs in educational settings.

The Importance of Accurate Diagnosis

An accurate assessment of your child’s cognitive abilities is essential because it guides the support and interventions they will receive. That’s why we only use gold-standard, evidence-based, and proven diagnostic tools to conduct comprehensive assessments. This ensures we provide the most accurate and reliable results.

What to Expect During the Assessment

  1. Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with an initial consultation where you will meet with a warm and empathetic psychologist. During this session, we’ll discuss your child’s cognitive concerns and experiences. This consultation also serves as a go/no-go point. If it appears that an assessment isn’t suitable, we will call this out and provide you with the choice of not proceeding further.
  2. Comprehensive Evaluation: If we proceed, the next step is a thorough evaluation. Our skilled psychologists will conduct interviews and questionnaires to gather detailed information about your child’s cognitive history and current functioning.
  3. Observation and Testing: Your child may participate in various activities or tasks that help us understand their memory, attention, problem-solving, and reasoning skills in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
  4. Detailed Report: After the evaluation, we’ll provide you with a detailed, easy-to-read report explaining how we assessed your child’s cognitive abilities and the results. Our industry-leading reports are designed to be clear and comprehensive.
  5. Ongoing Support: If cognitive challenges are identified, we offer ongoing support to help you navigate their educational journey, manage challenges, and improve their cognitive performance. Our goal is to provide you with resources and strategies that enhance your child’s learning.
