More than identifying learning, social, emotional, cognitive and/or developmental needs, Holistic Assessment involves providing context-specific strategy integration and follow up. Our Holistic Assessment process includes:

• Parent and child consultation* (90 minutes)

• School visit (observation)

• Consultation with Teachers (30 mins)

• If required, assessment measure administration, scoring and interpretation

• Report writing, inclusive of strategy integration for home and school contexts

• Strategy implementation plan

• Follow up (review) consultation* (60 mins)
