WORKPLACE INJURY & DISABILITY INSURANCE REPORTS
Assessment reports can be completed after a clinical assessment for individuals who were injured at work or are on a leave of absence (i.e., sick leave) for mental health reasons. Reports can be completed for short-term disability and long-term disability.
Dr. Syb Pongracic and Associates are a part of the WSIB Community Mental Health Program.

EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS
If you need accommodations at school or work for your suspected learning or attentional problems or autism, a psychoeducational assessment will identify your strengths and areas of need. A detailed report will include recommendations for assistance, as well as suggestions for modifications and accommodations to assist you.
Adult ADHD is common and often goes undiagnosed for many years. If you have screened positively on the ASRS you may wish to get diagnosed. Understanding the impacts of this disorder can help alleviate some of the ongoing problems you may be facing as an adult (e.g., impulsivity, regrettable judgment, and decision making, difficulty sleeping, distractibility).

We do evaluations for Transport Canada (pilots), Veterans Affair, standardized examinations (GRE, MCAT, SAT, bar exams, dental hygiene, accounting, veterinarian) and can customize assessments to your needs. You can trust that our team will choose the appropriate psychometric instruments, use validated and current instruments, and obtain accurate clinical information to support you. Other evaluations include: mental health issues (psychodiagnostic), cognitive functioning, personality disorders, and memory. Assessments may be done virtually and some are in-person at our Toronto, Mississauga, Collingwood offices.
Mental Health Assessments
Psychologists are specially trained in assessing for mental health disorders (i.e., from the DSM-5). Some of the common specialized psychological assessments are referred to as psychodiagnostic assessments, psychoeducational assessments, cognitive assessments, forensic assessments, and neuropsychological assessments.
Psychologists have expert knowledge of the underlying mechanisms and the possible causes of mental disorders, which arise from a combination of biological, environmental/social, and psychological factors.
Accurate identification of mental health disorders through a comprehensive assessment provides information for psychologists to inform clients about the available treatment choices that are based on the current research knowledge.
