CliniKids will be offering cognitive assessments as a new service to support families from July 1, 2025.
What is a cognitive assessment?
A cognitive assessment is a valuable tool to better understand how a child thinks, learns, and processes information. It looks at areas such as:
- Thinking and reasoning
- Language and communication
- Memory
- Problem-solving
- Attention and focus
These assessments can help identify learning difficulties, cognitive strengths, or areas where a child may need extra support. They can also help determine if a child meets criteria for an intellectual disability or giftedness.
Why choose CliniKids?
At CliniKids, cognitive assessments are available for children aged 6 to 9 years, who are at a conversational level of communication. These assessments may be helpful when:
- A school is unable to provide an assessment due to long waitlists
- Families are receiving mixed messages about their child’s progress
- There are questions about a child’s general learning capabilities
