Rise Up Psychology
Rise Up Psychology specializes in completing child assessments for people between the ages of 5 and 16.
Cognitive assessments (or intelligence tests) are used to measure a person’s general thinking and reasoning abilities (also known as IQ- intelligence quotient). The determination of how well one learns, is based on their level of general thinking and reasoning abilities. At Rise Up Psychology, the main purpose of conducting cognitive assessments is to identify if a person may have an intellectual disability, learning difficulty or if they are gifted.
Rise Up Psychology was opened because of a high demand for children requiring psychometric assessment to help identify developmental challenges and pave the way to accessing relevant supports.
