Cognitive Assessment

Cognitive Assessment for Children & Adults

At Core Healing Psychology, we provide comprehensive cognitive assessments to help individuals of all ages gain a clear understanding of their thinking skills and mental processes. Whether you’re a parent concerned about a child’s developmental milestones or an adult seeking insights into memory, attention, or executive functioning, our assessments offer valuable information to guide effective support and interventions.

What Is a Cognitive Assessment?

A cognitive assessment examines key areas such as memory, attention, reasoning, problem-solving, and overall intellectual functioning. By identifying strengths and areas of difficulty, it becomes possible to tailor educational plans, therapeutic strategies, or workplace accommodations that enhance day-to-day success.

Who May Benefit?

Children & Adolescents

  • Delays in meeting developmental or academic milestones
  • Difficulties focusing in class or following instructions
  • Struggles with problem-solving, comprehension, or organization
  • Possible learning disorders, attention concerns, or complex developmental needs

Adults

  • Changes in cognitive abilities due to injury, illness, or aging
  • Persistent issues with memory, attention, or decision-making
  • Concerns about workplace performance, career changes, or return-to-work planning
  • Desire for clarity regarding strengths and challenges to facilitate personal growth

Our Assessment Process

  1. Initial Consultation
    We begin with an in-depth conversation about your concerns, goals, and relevant background—whether for yourself or your child. Understanding your context helps us select the most appropriate testing methods.

  2. Standardized Testing
    Our psychologists use evidence-based tools (such as the Wechsler scales) to measure various cognitive functions, including memory, processing speed, and executive functioning. Children may receive tailored assessments suitable to their developmental level, while adults undergo evaluations aligned with their age and needs.

  3. Observation & Interview
    During testing, we note how you or your child approaches problems and handles challenges. We also gather insights from interviews with relevant parties (parents, teachers, spouses) to understand behavior across different settings.

  4. Interpretation & Feedback
    After scoring and interpreting the assessment results, we compile a clear, comprehensive report. This report outlines strengths, areas for improvement, and any notable patterns that could indicate learning difficulties or other concerns. We then meet with you to discuss the findings in an open, collaborative feedback session.

  5. Recommendations & Action Plan
    Based on the results, we provide practical strategies and next steps—this could include referrals to educational support services, therapeutic interventions, or workplace accommodations. Our aim is to empower you (or your child) with concrete tools and guidance for continued growth.
