No. You do not have to enroll in a BrainRx program after the Cognitive Skills Assessment. The assessment provides a clearer understanding of the individual’s cognitive strengths and areas for improvement, so you can decide what next steps are appropriate.

A Cognitive Skills Assessment can provide valuable insight into the cognitive skills that may be contributing to a child’s learning struggles. It does not replace a medical, psychological, or educational diagnosis, but it can help identify areas that may benefit from targeted training or further evaluation.

No. A Cognitive Skills Assessment does not diagnose ADHD, dyslexia, autism, or other medical or developmental conditions. If there are concerns about a possible diagnosis, we recommend consulting an appropriately qualified healthcare or educational professional. Our assessment can, however, provide information about cognitive skills that may affect learning and performance.

Yes, the assessment may be appropriate for some children with special needs, depending on their individual abilities and needs. We recommend discussing your child’s situation with us before scheduling so we can determine whether the assessment is appropriate.

No. An IQ test primarily provides a measure of intellectual ability, while a Cognitive Skills Assessment focuses on specific cognitive skills involved in learning and processing information. The goal is to understand how a person learns and where specific skills may need support.

Yes. An assessment can provide insight into whether cognitive skills may be affecting how effectively a student learns. Tutoring generally focuses on what a student is learning, while cognitive skills training focuses on underlying skills that support learning. The assessment can help identify areas such as attention, memory, processing, or other cognitive skills that may benefit from additional support.

A Cognitive Skills Assessment may be worth considering if your child consistently struggles with attention, memory, following instructions, reading, math, processing information, completing schoolwork, or keeping up despite putting in effort. It can help you move from “Why is my child struggling?” to “What skills may need support?”

Yes, an assessment may still be useful even if your child is doing well in school. It isn’t only for students who are struggling or significantly behind. It can also help identify areas of strength and opportunities to further develop cognitive skills that support learning and performance.
