Our collaboration with UBC helps to bring affordable, accessible psychoeducational assessments to our families enrolled in programs.
Psychoeducational and/or Neuropsychological Evaluations may be of benefit to any student with suspected learning differences, as well as those who have other behavioural or social-emotional challenges.
Families must be able to commit to attending sessions at UBC in order to complete the assessment.
Referrals for these evaluations are limited and is only offered to LDS – Learn. Develop. Succeed families who are enrolled in programs on a priority basis.
Please contact us to discuss if your child may be an appropriate candidate for a referral.
LDS – Learn. Develop. Succeed. is thrilled to be able to offer referrals for psychoeducational and neuropsychological evaluations to some of our families! Please note this is on a capacity basis and availability may vary depending on when you inquire.
We are collaborating with the University of British Columbia’s Psychological Services and Counselling Training Centre (PSCTC). The PSCTC is a university-based setting for clinical training and research within the UBC’s Faculty of Education. The PSCTC supports graduate training in psychoeducational assessment and intervention, and in counselling, maintains an up-to-date Test Library of psychoeducational assessment and intervention and mental health and social development resources, provides service and leadership in the profession and community, and facilitates research in education.
Qualifying LDS – Learn. Develop. Succeed. families will now be able to be referred for an affordable assessment over a time span that is potentially years faster than currently available via other means. Having this additional evidence and deeper understanding about your child’s learning strengths and stretches will help you be a better advocate for your child and ensure they get learning supports that are tailored to their needs.
Evaluations will be offered by PSCTC at a rate that is roughly half of what is available via private practitioners. And thanks to the generous support of our donors and sponsors, qualifying LDS families will be eligible for partial to full bursary support to subsidize the cost of the evaluation so that we can make it accessible and affordable to all.
While LDS – Learn. Develop. Succeed. is facilitating these referrals and will be providing space at our Learning Centre to conduct portions of the assessment that need to be done in person, families will have a direct relationship with UBC PSCTC, will follow their procedures and policies, and will have full ownership of all reports and data generated through the evaluation process.
Everyone at LDS – Learn. Develop. Succeed. would like to thank the professors, staff and students at UBC’s PSCTC for offering this invaluable opportunity to our families. We cannot wait to help more families access the learning supports they need and deserve!
