Intellectual Disability
At Manor Clinic, our psychologists specialize in comprehensive ID assessments for individuals of all ages. Using evidence-based tools such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), and Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS), we assess intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior to provide an accurate diagnosis. Timely diagnosis is crucial in helping individuals access the appropriate interventions, support, and educational accommodations they need to thrive.
Age Range for Intellectual Disability Assessments:
We offer intellectual disability assessments for children aged 3 and above, as well as for adults, ensuring that individuals across all stages of life can receive the appropriate diagnosis and support.
Referral Process:
Parents, guardians, or adults can directly request an intellectual disability assessment or seek input from a teacher, physician, or other educational or mental health professionals. A formal referral letter is not required.
Post Diagnostic Support:
Following an intellectual disability diagnosis, our multidisciplinary team, including psychologists, behavioral specialists, and consultants, provides ongoing support. We offer individualized care plans with recommendations for educational accommodations, school liaison, and referrals to the Family Supports for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) program. Additionally, we provide parent support training to help families manage challenges at home and improve the individual’s overall quality of life.
IQ Assessment Edmonton – Comprehensive Evaluations for Intellectual Disability and Giftedness at Manor Clinic
Manor Clinic offers detailed IQ assessments in Edmonton for individuals across the lifespan, focusing on intellectual disability, giftedness, and related conditions. Our assessments use standardized tools to evaluate both IQ and adaptive functioning, essential for diagnosing intellectual disabilities. These evaluations help identify support needs and provide clear, actionable recommendations.
Our integrated, multidisciplinary team ensures a thorough and supportive process. Experienced psychologists conduct comprehensive assessments, while our mental health therapists provide post-diagnostic support to individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families. Our consulting psychiatrists review each case, offering treatment recommendations and evaluating psychotropic medications to address challenging behaviors often seen in intellectual disability.
We also provide giftedness assessments, often required by schools to offer reasonable accommodations and tailor programs to meet the advanced learning needs of gifted students. Additionally, we offer combined assessments for conditions that may coexist with intellectual disability, such as ADHD, autism, and learning disorders like dyslexia.
Our IQ assessments can support applications for PDD (Persons with Developmental Disabilities) services, and we provide formal recommendation letters based on assessment findings. We also offer accommodation letters for schools and educational institutions, ensuring clients receive the support they require.
For adults with intellectual disabilities, our psychiatrist assists with capacity assessments needed for guardianship, trusteeship, and AISH applications, guiding families through this critical transition.
Manor Clinic’s IQ assessments in Edmonton are built on a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach, offering clarity and compassionate care.
