Cognitive testing with Olivia
24th July, 2024We’re excited to share some great news with you! Here at Beyond Self, we are now offering WISC-V testing (the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition) with our wonderful psychologist, Olivia.
The WISC assessment is an incredible tool that helps children, parents, school psychologists, teachers, and other health professionals gain a deeper understanding of a child’s cognitive strengths and areas for improvement.
By using the WISC-V, we can provide valuable insights into potential cognitive and intellectual challenges, such as ADHD and processing deficits, and it’s also instrumental in evaluating learning disabilities.
The assessment covers five key areas:
- Working memory
- Processing speed
- Fluid reasoning skills
- Visual-spatial skills
- Verbal comprehension ability
These skills are essential for navigating daily life and succeeding in school and other academic settings.
The WISC assessment is designed for children and teens aged 6 to 16 years and 11 months. The whole process takes about 75 minutes, and we strive to make it as comfortable and engaging as possible.
If you think this could be beneficial for your child or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to help and support your child’s journey to success!
