Recommendations / testimonials

I am very much pleased with your service and I wanted to provide you a review. Your report was very helpful in identifying the needs for my son. It was very detailed and covered even the minute things we had discussed. The test was conducted in a very friendly manner and my son really enjoyed it. I would recommend Together Psychology to everyone and especially to expats like me who are in search of an English assessment. Regards, Anonymous (“Yes you can use my review on your website.

Recommendations / testimonials

Dear Marcel, We want to express our appreciation for the way the testing of our daughter was dealt with. You swiftly responded to our inquiry with elaborate, clear possibilities. Once we had decided to use De Testpsycholoog, your colleague quickly arranged the testing date and location (conveniently in “our town”). Our daughter felt at ease with the psychologist where it was additionally advantageous that the tests were in English and not in Dutch. The report arrived within the agreed time. The findings turned out to confirm our suspicion. The report contained not just facts/findings but also additional information (explanations, useful links / organizations, etc): these will help us in assuring the right educational basis for our daughter as well in guiding her while growing up as a teenager. Whereas we hoped that the Dutch version would be sufficient, we were glad that your company provided in meantime also a professional translation into English (also this version arrived within a week).Job well done ! We are really satisfied with the service provided. Kind regards; Agnes & Bernt

Cognitive profile assessment – IQ test child

A cognitive profile assessment measures the underlying cognitive abilities contributing to various academic skills. The measurements predict a child’s performance in corresponding academic areas. We encourage parents to test children early. Due to plasticity of a child’s brain, many of these cognitive abilities could be developed or strengthened if shortcomings are determined at an early age.

The assessment uses a combination of objective, norm-referenced psychometric tests to identify a child’s unique cognitive pattern (i.e. strengths and weaknesses in various areas of logical reasoning and information processing). Specifically, it evaluates the child’s ability in Verbal, Visual-Spatial and Quantitative reasoning as well as working memory and visual-motor coordination. It measures a student’s ability in a way that is independent of previous academic training.

The results of the cognitive profile assessment help predict a child’s ability to learn and perform in various school subjects. These results can be used to make informed decisions regarding educational placement and extracurricular activities. Knowledge of a child’s cognitive strengths and deficiencies helps parents develop a specialized training or enrichment program for their child.

The assessment report has two possible formats. The first format is an ‘IQ-scan’-report which offers an IQ-profile (all results including Full IQ-score) and explanation of the test subjects. The second format is the extended report. Next to the the IQ-profile, in this report we analyse the results and offer practical recommendations on how to address a child’s specific areas of need or to develop existing aptitudes.

Children IQ-tests administered by Together Psychology include SON-R, WPPSI and WISC.

Giftedness assessment

A gifted assessment is recommended if you feel that your child is intellectually advanced and not sufficiently stimulated by the regular curriculum. Based on the results of the gifted assessment, the school board can decide to place a child in a specialized gifted program designed for intellectually-advanced students or to meet the child’s needs through regular classroom placement augmented with a specialized gifted curriculum.

Gifted children differ from their peers in their thinking, learning style, social interactions, and emotional reactions. Therefore, they require different educational and parenting approaches. Whether or not the child meets the entrance criteria for the gifted program, the results of the gifted testing can help parents to better understand their child’s strengths and weaknesses, and to guide their decisions about extracurricular and enrichment choices.
