Psychological assessment
Psychological assessment open to all clients, not only boys, led by assessment specialist Dr. Laurie Nouguier. Most clients are recommended a comprehensive evaluation covering cognitive, academic, psychological and social needs; a more limited, targeted assessment is used in select cases. It looks at attention concerns and ADHD, dyslexia and dysgraphia, learning differences, school and testing accommodation needs, intellectual giftedness and twice-exceptional profiles, autism spectrum and related conditions, mental health concerns and test anxiety. Adults are assessed too. The process starts with a complimentary phone consultation to decide whether Equip is the right fit.
