Cookie helps to offer reassurance, while helping her human friends foster empathy, develop skills like confidence, self-monitoring, perspective-taking, communication and coping. She can’t wait to meet and support more human friends!

Weekend musings:

All too often, we crave for something different, something that would add spice to our mundane lives. However, we tend to quickly reject differences, especially those observed among people.

In working with children with developmental disabilities, difference in one's behaviour is seen as a skill deficit. Likely because one's behaviours may have had social consequences (e.g., hard to make friends or find a job). Treatment then quickly focuses on helping the individual integrate into the dominant culture that dictates what we say, how we say things, how we act, etc.

A lot is focused on addressing the difference. Is there room for us to embrace the differences in our human condition? What if the tables were turned and we were the minority?

We could learn to communicate better by giving time to understand the other person. Some of us may prefer the norm, but let's not be an adversary. Respect individuality and allow differences; we may learn just how similar we are.

Having to decide whether your child needs a psychological assessment can be confusing, anxiety-provoking, and overwhelming. There is a lot of information for parents and caregivers to make sense of while scrolling through Google. Some information can be overly technical while others may be misleading - all of which can make your decision making process challenging.

In this post, we attempted to answer frequently asked questions for parents and caregivers who may or may not be new to psychological assessments.

We acknowledge that we may not have answered all your pressing questions. Please feel free to reach out to us. We would love to guide you through this process.
