ASSESSMENT:

Dr. Fitzsimmons offers psycho-educational assessment services to children and adolescents, to evaluate learning, attention, memory and executive functioning, as well as potential behavioural and mental health needs. Psycho-educational assessment can help parents and schools to better understand a child’s learning and behaviour, can determine if a child meets diagnostic criteria for a condition such as a learning disability, ADHD or an intellectual developmental disorder, and provides recommendations for the home and school environment. 

Dr. Fitzsimmons also offers psycho-educational assessments to students attending French school, or enrolled in the French Immersion program.

All clients will be provided with a complimentary 10-minute telephone consultation to discuss whether the reason for referral falls within Dr. Fitzsimmons' scope of practice, and to address questions and concerns.
