A diagnosis tells us WHAT. A cognitive assessment helps us understand WHY.

Many parents tell us they finally felt a sense of relief when they understood the reason behind their child's struggles.

When we identify the cognitive skills that need strengthening, we can help make learning, reading and concentrating easier.

Because every child deserves the opportunity to discover what they are capable of.

Answer these 5 questions:

🟥 1. Is your child struggling with reading or comprehension?
🟥 2. Is your child struggling with math?
🟥 3. Is your child struggling to pay attention and stay focused?
🟥 4. Is doing homework and studying for tests/exams a constant struggle?
🟥 5. Is your child constantly in need of extra classes, tutoring, your assistance, more study method courses, or additional academic programs just to catch up or get by?

If you've answered YES to one or more of these questions, it's time to dig deeper and find the cause of your child's learning struggle(s).

Our internationally validated and normed Cognitive Assessment will help you learn more about your child's ability to:

▶Learn and remember
▶Follow instructions
▶Pay attention and stay focused
▶Read and comprehend
▶Keep up in the classroom (and even on the sports field)
▶Think on his/her feet and adapt to change

The Assessment pinpoints individual cognitive strengths and weaknesses so you can better understand your child's ability to process, store, recall and apply information.

Whether you're simply curious to know and understand your child's unique cognitive profile, or want to make sure your child receives the right type of learning assistance and are looking for a way to pinpoint which cognitive skill(s) needs to be strengthened to make learning, reading, remembering and concentrating easier - we can help.
