The type of assessment that is done depends on the information that is needed to understand underlying difficulties and determine appropriate accommodations, supports and intervention.
A psycho-educational (or psych-ed) is often sufficient to determine if someone has a learning disorder and meets criteria for support or to identify learning strengths and develop strategies to maximize potential.
A neuropsychological assessment includes additional measures to understand strengths and/or needs in areas that would benefit from further evaluation to fully understand presenting concerns.
Specific concerns about you or your child and the purpose of the assessment will be discussed during an initial meeting. The information you provide and the presenting concerns you have help to determine the type of assessment that would be beneficial and what tests will be used to answer the questions you have. Assessment is a collaborative process with each of us bringing different pieces of the problem to be solved to the table. We work together to put the pieces together in a way that makes sense to understand the reason for doing the assessment.
A comprehensive assessment report with recommendations supporting strengths and needs is provided following a feedback session with you to discuss testing results.

Play Based Therapy
Dr. Rae-Seebach is specialized in expressive play and sand tray therapy integrated with evidence-based cognitive and behavioural strategies in the treatment of grief, loss, anxiety, mood, trauma, and concerns about death and dying..
Many children and youth lack the words and/or the ability to talk about problems they experience. With support and guidance, expressive play and sand tray therapy provides opportunities to explore and resolve underlying issues associated with behavioural, social and emotional struggles. Parent consultation and strategies to sustain changes achieved through treatment are integrated into this process.
