Psychoeducational Assessments in Oshawa & Durham Region for Students Struggling Despite Their Potential
If your child is intelligent, capable, and working hard but their grades do not reflect their potential, a psychoeducational assessment may provide the clarity your family has been searching for.
At Durham Region Centre for Cognitive Health, Dr. Nicole Murray provides comprehensive psychoeducational assessments for adolescents and young adults throughout Oshawa, Durham Region, and GTA East.
These assessments help identify learning differences, cognitive strengths, executive functioning challenges, and whether academic accommodations may be appropriate.
Serving Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Bowmanville, Courtice, Clarington, Port Perry, Uxbridge, and GTA East.
Does This Sound Familiar?
Many students who come to our clinic are bright, motivated, and capable. Yet despite their effort, school feels significantly harder than it should.
Assignments take longer. Studying feels overwhelming. Grades fail to reflect intelligence. Teachers often describe a student as having tremendous potential, but that potential is not translating into academic success.
• School requires significantly more effort than expected
• Grades do not reflect intelligence
• Reading takes longer than peers
• Organization feels overwhelming
• Homework becomes a nightly struggle
• University readiness feels uncertain
• Test performance does not match classroom understanding
• Confidence continues to decline
What appears to be a motivation problem is often something else entirely. A psychoeducational assessment helps identify the underlying reason and provides a clearer understanding of how a student learns.
