Program overview
Neuropsychological assessments
In these in-depth assessments, a trained provider uses diverse approaches – from conversations with parents to on-site testing – to understand a young person’s current functioning in areas such as reading comprehension, memory, and motor skills. Next, clinicians recommend appropriate supports such as occupational therapy or speech therapy to aid continued development.
How Family of Support Funding Has Helped
Family of Support funds have helped to:
- Enable SickKids to perform around 100 such assessments each year;
- Accelerate access to these assessments – a key priority since they can help young people receive appropriate support during key developmental windows;
- Empower the SickKids clinic team to keep pace with ever-increasing demand for these highly personalized, resource-intensive assessments.
