Gifted Assessments
Giftedness is often identified as an unusually advanced degree of general intellectual ability. Gifted testing is often necessary for placement in specific academic programming. A gifted assessment is typically administered to children who are at least 8 years of age and in Grade 3 (or older). At Royal York Psychology, we provide gifted testing to children and adolescents. The assessment is conducted by a qualified professional dedicated to helping individuals recognize and embrace their unique learning capabilities.
At Royal York Psychology we offer gifted assessments to identify the following:
-
Enhanced language capabilities
-
Quick processing speed
-
Strong working memory skills​
