Join us for a conversation about childhood psychological assessment, viewed from two different lenses: that of a parent of young children who is wondering when and whether to seek an assessment, and that of a practicing psychologist who can speak to what the process involves and what families can expect. Whether you're considering an assessment for your child, supporting a family member through the process, or simply want to understand more about the childhood psychological assessment process, this session offers practical insights, professional guidance, and the reassurance that comes from shared experience. Following our speakers’ presentations, we’ll open the floor for audience questions and community conversation.
