A multifactorial evaluation and diagnosis of learning difficulties/disorders/ADHD: for Children, Adolescents, Students, and Adults.
Assessment includes various areas of functioning — such as cognitive abilities, academic achievement/performance/skills, attention, concentration and executive functioning, as well as socio-emotional functioning and development. It integrates information collected from Parents, Teachers, and/or child healthcare professionals. Additional information is gathered from developmental history, review of mental and physical health, previous psychoeducational assessments, and schoolwork samples of the Child/Adolescent, forming a comprehensive evaluation.
At the end of the assessment, a detailed and integrated report with results is provided and presented to the family and the child/adolescent. The results include specific recommendations for accommodations, therapeutic goals, and interventions. Psychoeducational therapy services are also available (see the section on therapy services for children/adolescents).
The assessment can be conducted in Greek, English, or both languages. The process (and specific tests used) can be tailored to the needs and requests of each individual.
Psychometric tools
Some of the psychometric tools used include:
- Intelligence and Cognitive Ability Tests – WISC-V, WAIS-IV
- Academic Achievement Tests – aligned with school curricula and other standardized tools (e.g., Woodcock-Johnson Test of Achievement-IV, Athena Test, WRAT 4, WIAT-IV)
- Cognitive Processing Tests – e.g., Visual and Aural Digit Span, Bender-Gestalt II, Beery-Buktenica Visual-Motor Integration Test
- Neuropsychological Tests – e.g., TOVA, NEPSY II, BRIEF 2, Stroop Color and Word Test
- Projective Personality Tests – e.g., Child Apperception Test, Thematic Apperception Test
- Objective Personality Tests – e.g., Beck Youth Inventory II, MMPI Adolescent Version

Each assessment is tailored to the needs of the child/adolescent and may include school visits and/or consultations with teachers or child health professionals. Comprehensive psychoeducational assessments include extensive analyses with standardized scores and recommendations for learning accommodations in Learning Support Centers, International Schools (e.g., IGCSE, IB Programs), and Colleges/Universities.
