Evaluations of IQ and Giftedness
Expert cognitive testing for giftedness, private school admissions, and a better understanding of your child's abilities.
Who Is IQ & Giftedness Testing For?
Families often seek cognitive testing for reasons such as:
Private school admissions requirements
Identifying cognitive strengths and weaknesses
Gifted or advanced academic program eligibility
Exploring potential giftedness
Understanding a child's intellectual abilities
Educational planning and enrichment opportunities
Cognitive testing provides valuable information about how a child thinks and learns. It is a focused assessment of intellectual abilities, rather than a comprehensive evaluation of attention, learning disabilities, or emotional functioning.
Understanding Your Child's Unique Abilities
Every child has a unique pattern of cognitive strengths and weaknesses. Individualized IQ testing provides insight into how your child thinks, reasons, and processes information, helping you better understand their abilities and make informed educational decisions.
