Behavioural Assessment

Who Are These Assessments For?

Behavioural and emotional assessments are helpful for a wide range of individuals, including:

• Children and Teens struggling with attention, social skills, emotional regulation, or disruptive behaviour

• Adults facing impulse control issues, mood instability, or high stress that impacts work or relationships

• First Responders and Professionals returning to work or navigating trauma and burnout

• Families and Caregivers looking for collaborative, evidence-based insight and guidance
  
  

What Our Assessments Cover

Every behavioural assessment is tailored to the individual’s specific needs and may include:

• Social-emotional functioning and stress response

• Attention and impulse control

• Emotional regulation and coping strategies

• Trauma-related symptoms or PTSD

• Diagnostic screening (e.g., ADHD, anxiety, depression, etc.)

• Functional Behavioural Analysis (FBA), when indicated
  
  

We also specialize in behavioural assessments designed for back-to-work planning, workplace performance concerns, or first responder readiness.

The ShiftGrit Assessment Process

Here’s what to expect when you work with us:

🧭 Step 1: Initial Consultation

We begin with a 15-minute call with our Client Experience Specialist to explore your goals and determine the best fit. Once booked, the intake session dives deep into your history, strengths, and current challenges.

📊 Step 2: Comprehensive Testing

We use a blend of standardized questionnaires, structured interviews, and optional observations. This includes an analysis of environmental factors, stress triggers, and behavioural patterns in different settings (e.g., home, work, school).

🧠 Step 3: Personalized Report & Feedback

You’ll receive a detailed report outlining strengths, challenges, and diagnostic findings (if applicable), along with clear recommendations that can be implemented right away.

🎯 Step 4: Ongoing Strategy & Support

We provide tools, referrals, and resources tailored to your needs—whether that's emotional regulation strategies, accommodations for school or work, or therapy options for deeper intervention.
