Giftedness Assessments
A giftedness assessment aims to identify exceptional intellectual or creative abilities in individuals, particularly children and adolescents.
Understanding the complexities of giftedness is crucial to nurturing their wellbeing. While many gifted youth exhibit exceptional abilities, they can struggle with many facets of their world. They often present with intense emotions, social challenges, and boredom. Identifying and supporting giftedness will support individuals to reach their full potential and to provide them with opportunities tailored to their unique strengths and interests.
A psychoeducational assessment is conducted to assess for giftedness. See here for additional details.
Based on the results of the assessment, observations, interviews and questionnaires, the examiner can determine whether you or your child meet criteria for giftedness.
