Diagnostic Assessment and Consultation
We offer comprehensive and professional psychological and educational assessment services, led by experienced educational psychologists. Our goal is to identify the learning strengths and challenges of children and adults, and to develop appropriate learning strategies.
Our Philosophy
We believe that every student is born with special talents.
Assessment is our first step in understanding a child's needs.
In collaboration with parents and our professional team,
we then craft an individualized learning pathway to guide and support the student in unlocking their potential.
