Assessments that Provide Insight Into Your Child's Functioning
At Neuro-Insight, Dr. Angela Deotto provides comprehensive assessments for children and teens facing learning disabilities, attention-based concerns, developmental delays, and mental health challenges. Her goal is to identify and support unique needs to promote optimal growth, development, and wellbeing.
Assessment Types:
Psycho-educational
Psycho-educational
Psycho-educational
A psychoeducational assessment is recommended for children and youth who present with learning difficulties/differences at school. It provides insight into the cognitive, psychological, and learning profile of your child in order to identify specific learning needs and optimize school and psychosocial functioning. The assessment offers practical, evidence-based recommendations to support a child’s success at school and in daily life.
(Ages 6 - 19)
Neuropsychological
Psycho-educational
Psycho-educational
A neuropsychological assessment is generally recommended for children and youth with complex medical or neurological histories who present with cognitive, behavioural, learning, and/or psychosocial difficulties. It provides insight into the impact of the condition (e.g., brain injury, epilepsy, prematurity) on the child’s cognitive, academic, and psychosocial functioning in order to provide recommendations to optimize functioning.
(Ages 6 - 19)
Psychodiagnostic
Psycho-educational
Psychodiagnostic
Helps identify and understand emotional, behavioral, and social functioning to clarify mental health concerns and guide treatment. Through interviews, standardized measures, and observation, the assessment provides insight into areas such as anxiety, mood, attention, and behaviour, leading to personalized recommendations for support at home, school, and in therapy.
(Ages 4 - 19)
Cognitive Skills Intervention for Children and Teens
At Neuro-Insight, Dr. Deotto also offers therapeutic support for executive functioning skills. Executive functions (EFs) help children and teens manage their time, emotions, behaviour, and responsibilities. When these skills are underdeveloped, children may appear forgetful, disorganized, overwhelmed, or unmotivated. EF coaching helps people, especially those with ADHD, learning challenges, or neurological / neurodevelopmental histories, build practical skills for daily life by improving planning, organization, time management, focus, prioritization, and self-regulation of emotions and behaviour. The goal is for these improvements to facilitate academic learning, social relationships, stress reduction, and increased self-confidence through personalized strategies and consistent practice.
Services are grounded in neuropsychological science and informed by assessment data. The intervention focuses on teaching practical, developmentally appropriate strategies and routines that can be applied at home, at school, and in daily life. Parent involvement and coaching are integrated to support skill generalization and long-term success.
