The psycho-educational assessment process involves: Initial services, Initial parent meeting, Testing (session preparation, cognitive and academic testing, interview, rating scales, scoring), Interpretation and report writing, Feedback meeting and Additional services. Assessment Process in Detail HOW DOES IT WORK? Once you contact us via email (contact@beaconpsychology.ca ) or phone, we will call you to gather information about your current concerns regarding your child's functioning, explain the assessment process, and answer any questions you may have. If you decide to book the assessment, you will pay a non-refundable initial services fee, which will be deducted from the total cost. We will email forms for you and your child's school to fill out. We will also request other documents, such as a copy of your child's report cards. At the time of booking, you will be asked to pay an initial service fee, which will be deducted from the total cost of the assessment. We will conduct a parent interview to gather information about your child's developmental and learning history and discuss any other concerns you may have. Depending on the case, the parent(s), teacher, and/or the student will complete additional questionnaires to assess the student's executive functioning, behaviour, social-emotional, and/or adaptive functioning. The student will attend approximately two testing sessions at the clinic (2-3 hours each), during which we will assess their performance in different areas that can affect learning. If applicable, a clinical interview with the parent(s) and/or child may also be conducted. We will score, interpret, and summarize the assessment results in a written report. The report will include any potential DSM-5-TR diagnoses or BC Ministry of Education designations and provide recommendations. We will discuss the assessment results at the parent feedback meeting, typically scheduled within 2-4 weeks after testing is completed. You will receive a written report that explains the assessment results and recommendations in detail in a PDF using a protected electronic platform. If requested, we may attend a school meeting to share the assessment findings (at an additional cost). Important Note About Our Cancellation Policy Your appointment is a block of time that is reserved for you. Missed appointments and last-minute cancellations (less than 48 business-hour notice) prevent us from scheduling other people. If you believe you won’t be able to attend a scheduled appointment, please notify us as soon as possible. Late-cancelled (less than two business days’ notice) or missed appointments will be charged at the hourly rate ($290). Because we spend time scheduling, sending forms and reviewing documents before your parent meeting, we will not reimburse the initial services fee if you decide to withdraw from the assessment. In addition, if you decide to withdraw from the assessment after you have a parent meeting , there will be a 2-hour charge (in addition to the initial services fee) for the time spent up to this point.

Classic Anti-Bullying Literature Bullying at School: What We Know and What We Can Do presents the results of Dr. Dan Olweus's pioneering research on bullying in schools, based on large-scale studies in Scandinavia conducted in the 1970s and 80s. It clearly defines what bullying is, outlines the characteristics of children who bully and those who are victimized, and examines the short- and long-term consequences for both groups. Olweus introduces the first comprehensive, evidence-based bullying prevention program that is still used to this day. The book emphasizes the importance of adult intervention and outlines a whole-school approach that has since influenced anti-bullying efforts around the world. Podcast My Kid is Being Bullied. What Should I Do? This episode explores how to support a middle school child who is being bullied. Dr. Lisa explains the difference between bullying and conflict, why kids bully, and the emotional impact on children. She outlines when and how adults should step in without escalating the situation and offers practical, step-by-step guidance. The discussion also covers what adults can do to support children effectively and what strategies are truly helpful in preventing bullying.
