We offer assessment services for learning difficulties and related skills. This includes attention, behaviour and emotional functioning. This type of assessment is known as psychoeducational assessment. This assessment service is available for children, adolescents and adults.
Parenting is one of the most important jobs any of us can ever have. It is very rewarding, but it is also hard work. Work that does not need to be done alone whatever your circumstances. We offer support and help for parents in a variety of ways.
Riverdale Centre offers support services to clients and their families with regard to learning support. This includes education about learning issues, consultation regarding program development, and ways of coping with difficulties.
