QUESTIONS ABOUT ASSESSMENTS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some of the questions parents ask us most often.

View All FAQs
What is a psychoeducational assessment?
A psychoeducational assessment provides a comprehensive understanding of a child’s cognitive abilities, academic skills, learning strengths, and areas of difficulty.
How do I know whether my child may benefit from an assessment?
Assessment may be helpful when a child consistently struggles academically, shows an unexpected pattern of strengths and difficulties, or is not performing at the level parents or educators believe they are capable of.
What is a gifted assessment?
A gifted assessment evaluates cognitive abilities to help determine whether a child demonstrates advanced abilities compared with other children of a similar age.
Does a gifted child always have high grades?
No. Advanced cognitive abilities do not always result in high academic achievement. Some gifted children may become disengaged, underperform, or experience other learning, social, or emotional challenges.
Are assessments available online?
No. Psychoeducational and gifted assessments at Core Centre are conducted exclusively face-to-face at our Mississauga clinic.
What happens after the assessment?
Parents receive an explanation of the findings and a comprehensive written report with recommendations based on their child’s individual profile.
