Remote neuropsychological assessment: A rigorous diagnosis from the comfort of your home
Are you observing attention difficulties, impulsivity, or academic challenges in your child? Do you live in a remote area, and are travel to clinics and scheduling constraints hindering your access to consultations? The CERC offers remote neuropsychological assessments for fast and flexible support.
The concrete advantages of neuropsychological assessment via telepractice
Get clear answers about your child's cognitive functioning without leaving home. Our telehealth approach offers maximum flexibility while maintaining the clinical accuracy required for an official diagnosis.
Comfort and reduced stress at home
The assessment takes place in a reassuring home environment, thus avoiding long journeys for you. This reduces the child's anxiety and promotes an authentic observation of their attentional and behavioral abilities.
This service is offered exclusively to residents of five administrative regions of Quebec, located far from major urban centers.
Data from 2022 (INSPQ) and 2023 (CIRANO) show ADHD diagnosis rates and the use of ADHD medication up to seven (7) times higher in remote regions of Quebec than in the Montreal area and major urban centres. The lack of professional resources in these regions has been identified as a contributing factor to this overdiagnosis.
Our telepractice neuropsychological assessment service is therefore exclusively aimed at residents of 5 major regions of Quebec, in order to offer them quality professional services from the comfort of their home, or from a room provided by their school:
- Lower St. Lawrence
- Gaspésie / Îles-de-la-Madeleine
- Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean;
- Abitibi-Témiscamingue North Shore
Our specialized clinic is now accessible throughout Quebec, directly from your living room or school environment.
Quick process and simplified handling
Speed up the process of obtaining a comprehensive cognitive assessment . You'll get a personalized intervention plan for school, home, and daily life more quickly.
The same scientific rigor as in a clinical consultation
Our video conferences and tele-assessments strictly adhere to the requirements of the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec (OPQ). Each standardized test guarantees the reliability of the diagnosis.
Our online neuropsychological assessment process
We offer a structured process for assessing ADHD , ASD , and learning disabilities . Our methodology adapts to the realities of families while guaranteeing sound clinical conclusions.
Initial medical history and preparatory forms remotely
During a one-hour video conference session, the neuropsychologist reviews the child's development, family history, and problematic behaviors. Standardized questionnaires are then sent online to parents and teachers.
Adapted cognitive tests, attention tests, and learning tests
The child or adult completes interactive virtual cognitive tests . Using targeted visual tools, the specialist measures:
- Sustained attention;
- Self-control;
- Working memory;
- Learning (reading, writing, mathematics);
- The psycho-affective experience (anxiety, self-esteem, anger, opposition)
- Intellectual potential.
Accurate differential diagnosis for ADHD and learning disabilities
Our analysis allows us to distinguish an attention deficit from anxiety, a behavioral disorder (e.g., oppositional defiant disorder - ODD) or a learning difficulty such as dyslexia or dyscalculia.
Review meeting and concrete recommendations
We are organizing a remote feedback session. You will receive a comprehensive written report with recommendations to guide your doctor, the school team, or the remedial education follow-up.
