Our Gifted Testing & Screening Process

We use standardized, research-backed IQ tests to assess your child's cognitive abilities. Our comprehensive process ensures accurate identification of giftedness.

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We begin with a parent interview to discuss your child's strengths, learning habits, and challenges. We also review previous academic records or observations from teachers (if applicable) to get a comprehensive understanding of your child's abilities.

Step 2: IQ Testing for Giftedness

Your child will complete a standardized IQ test designed for gifted screening. We use the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V), the most widely used IQ test for gifted kids in Ontario, and the Canadian Cognitive Abilities Test (CCAT), a cognitive screening tool often used in Ontario school gifted programs.

Step 3: In-Depth Analysis & Report

We provide a full IQ score breakdown with percentile rankings, identification of strengths, cognitive skills, and areas for enrichment, and gifted program recommendations based on results. After testing, parents receive a detailed report that can be submitted to schools for gifted placement consideration.
