Psycho-Educational Assessment For:
Gifted Learners
Gifted Learners
Gifted students typically have more advanced abilities to learn, process and synthesize information than their peers. Common characteristics may include advanced problem solving skills, exhibiting an intellectual curiosity about the world around them, utilizing an advanced vocabulary and/or “out of the box” thinking.
Goal of Assessment
The goal of this assessment is to identify a client’s intellectual functioning, academic abilities and overall learning profile. Such information is used to determine if a client may be eligible for “gifted” programming within their respective school board.
BENEFITS OF ASSESSMENT
- An understanding of one’s cognitive and academic abilities,
- An understanding of how one learns best,
- An understanding of specific strategies/programs that may be beneficial,
- An understanding of appropriate accommodations/modifications that may be implemented within a classroom to help facilitate cognitive growth and academic learning,
- An understanding of how to access potential community resources.
It is important to note that each school board in Ontario may have specific criteria pertaining to the requirements to obtain a formal “Gifted” designation as well as potentially accessing a “gifted” class placement and/or enhanced programming support.
Please check with your school board for details.
