Cognitive
A cognitive assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted by psychologists or specialists to measure various cognitive abilities, including memory, attention, problem-solving, and language skills. It involves a series of standardized tests and tasks designed to assess an individual's cognitive functioning, aiding in diagnosing cognitive impairments, developmental delays, or identifying strengths and weaknesses. The results help in creating tailored interventions, treatment plans, or educational accommodations to support individuals in various aspects of their lives.
Giftedness
Characterized by a higher than average IQ and aptitude toward individual areas of learning, giftedness is diagnosable through standardized assessment. Giftedness looks different for most people, but can sometimes look like hyper-interest in high interest topics and an aptitude for learning. Recognizing and enriching learning for gifted individuals can help curb behaviours in school.
