Whether you are seeking gifted identification, trying to understand why a bright child is struggling, or looking for a deeper picture of how your child thinks and learns, intelligence testing may provide the precise, clinically grounded answers you need.
Intelligence testing is a standardized, clinically administered assessment that measures cognitive ability across multiple domains. Conducted by a registered psychologist or psychological associate, it provides an objective, detailed picture of how an individual processes and uses information.

We bring the same standard of clinical precision, compassion, and personalized attention to every assessment that defines our broader approach to brain health.

Children complete a Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Fifth Edition (WISC-V) which measures a child’s intellectual ability and the 5 cognitive domains that impact performance for children (Verbal Comprehension, Visual Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed). Adults complete a Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) which is the most advanced measure of cognitive ability that looks at the 4 domains that impact performance for adults (Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed).
We will walk you through the full report in a dedicated feedback session, ensuring you leave with a thorough understanding of every finding and the confidence to take the next steps. You will not leave with a stack of papers and unanswered questions. You will leave with clarity and a plan. Your report is sent a few weeks after the virtual debrief session

Intelligence testing focuses specifically on measuring cognitive ability across multiple domains, providing a detailed picture of how the brain processes and uses information. A psychoeducational assessment is broader in scope and includes intelligence testing alongside evaluations of academic achievement, attention, executive functioning, and social emotional factors. For families seeking gifted identification or a focused cognitive profile, intelligence testing alone may be appropriate. For a more comprehensive understanding of learning and academic functioning, a full psychoeducational assessment is typically recommended.
We use gold standard, widely recognized cognitive assessments that are selected based on your child’s age and the specific questions the assessment is intended to answer. Adults complete the WAIS-IV and children complete the WISC-V
The assessment session itself typically takes between one and two hours depending on your child’s age and the scope of the evaluation. Additional time is required for scoring, interpretation, report writing, and the feedback session. We will provide you with a clear timeline at the outset so you know what to expect at every stage of the process.
Yes. A formally administered and scored intelligence assessment conducted by a registered psychologist or psychological associate is typically the assessment required by schools and school boards for gifted program identification and placement. Our reports are written with this purpose in mind and include all the documentation schools need to make informed placement decisions.
