Psycho-Educational Assessments
This is a comprehensive assessment that helps identify a persons strengths and weaknesses in term of their thinking skills, academic skills, as well as social and emotional functioning. The goal of this assessment is to provide realistic and valuable recommendations for the child, parents, and school to help the child achieve their full academic potential.
Family Therapy
The first step is to meet all identified family members to develop common goals (e.g., improve communication skills, clarify roles, reduce arguing, etc.). Next, gather information from all family members to develop an understanding of what is contributing to the identified concerns. Finally, use this information to inform the treatment plan that tailors the use of Cognitive Behaviour Family Therapy for your family.
