Welcome to kidPsych

We specialize in academic, intellectual, and mental health assessment and literacy intervention. We identify underlying causes of difficulties and create tailored intervention plans. Our literacy interventions are based in the science of reading, utilizing explicit, structured, systematic teaching of reading, spelling, and written expression.

  • Assessment & Diagnostic Clarity

    We specialize in assessments for intellectual abilities, academic skills, and mental health. Our comprehensive assessments identify learning disorders, intellectual disabilities, ADHD, giftedness, and various emotional or behavioural difficulties. We then create an individualized intervention plan for how to build the abilities and skills required.
