Calgary Child, Teen and Emerging Adult Psychology and Assessments
An assessment is a comprehensive process that focuses on understanding each child and family’s individual needs. The assessment team works with families at a pace that feels right for the individual and is focused on providing strength-based assessments with individualized strategies and recommendations. Prior to completing an assessment, we recommend reaching out to our assessment team to determine if our practice is the best fit for your family and to answer your questions about the assessment process.
