The staff at Cornerstone is qualified to perform a variety of assessments such as career and executive leadership, educational and behavioural. 

Cognitive/Learning and Emotional/Behavioral Assessment Services

Cornerstone Counselling Centre is pleased to have Ken Boschman on staff to conduct these assessments for our clients.  Ken is a registered psychologist with over 30 years of experience in the education field. 

Assessments can be valuable for students of all ages.  When ability, learning style and areas of giftedness or difficulty are indentified, learning environments can be modified to maximize the students’ opportunity for success.  The outcomes are then transcribed into a report that will include recommendations for programming and remediation.  We will schedule a final meeting to explain the report and answer questions. 

For children, assessments can help parents and teachers understand the child’s strengths and areas of challenge.  For a student that struggles in school, a learning assessment can guide teachers and parents to develop realistic expectations and appropriate interventions. 

Adult learners can also benefit from assessments.  Assessments can be used to determine career choice, understand learning style or identify areas that require remediation.  Assessments can also be useful when advocating for reasonable accommodation at work or at a postsecondary educational institution.

Cognitive/Learning Ability Assessment

The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate the client’s learning ability and style.  The assessment consists of a selection of ability tests, a measure of the client’s adaptive behaviour and an interview with the client, and parents or teachers if appropriate.

Emotional/Behavioral Assessment

An emotional/behavioral report almost always includes a cognitive/learning assessment as the two are interrelated.  The psychologist will conduct a clinical interview with the student and administer some tests.
