What our users say

Spent close to two years trying to find a therapist. Waitlists, no callbacks, people who weren't the right fit. Ended up finding someone through Promptd in like a week.

I run a small law firm and needed a family mediator for a case. I did not find anyone in my network so I tried Promptd and found someone pretty quickly.

Catherine

Nice to actually see prices listed upfront. Saves you from having to call around just to figure out what you can afford.

What is a gifted assessment?

A gifted assessment is a psychological evaluation designed to identify intellectual giftedness through standardized cognitive testing, typically the WISC-V for children or WAIS-IV for adults. The report documents the score profile, identifies strengths and relative weaknesses, and provides a formal record that school boards, private schools, gifted programs, and enrichment pathways use for placement decisions. It is narrower in scope than a full psychoeducational assessment and focuses on cognitive ability rather than academic skills or processing.

How do you assess for giftedness?

Formal assessment uses a standardized cognitive test administered by a registered psychologist, most commonly the WISC-V for school-aged children, the WPPSI for younger children, or the WAIS for adults. Giftedness is usually defined as a full-scale IQ or General Ability Index at or above the 98th percentile (roughly 130 IQ or higher), though some programs use the 97th or 99th percentile cutoffs. Group achievement tests and teacher rating scales can screen for giftedness but do not provide formal identification on their own.

What are the signs of a gifted child?

Common signs include advanced vocabulary and language use for age, intense focus on specific interests, rapid learning with minimal repetition, strong memory, abstract reasoning well beyond peers, and sometimes emotional or sensory intensity. Gifted children may also show asynchronous development (cognitive age ahead of emotional age), perfectionism, and frustration when learning feels repetitive. These signs are suggestive, not diagnostic, which is why formal testing is used for identification.

What are the levels of giftedness?

A commonly used framework divides giftedness into five levels: mildly gifted (IQ 115 to 129), moderately gifted (130 to 144), highly gifted (145 to 159), exceptionally gifted (160 to 179), and profoundly gifted (180 and above). Each level typically needs different educational supports, from enrichment within a regular classroom at the mild end to radical acceleration or specialized programs at the profound end. Most school gifted programs identify at the 130 threshold.

How much does a gifted assessment cost in Canada?

Private gifted assessments typically cost 1,200 to 2,500 Canadian dollars, less than a full psychoeducational assessment because the scope is narrower. Prices vary by province and whether the assessment includes any academic or processing measures. Gifted assessments are not covered by OHIP or provincial health plans. Extended health benefits may reimburse part of psychology costs. Some school boards conduct gifted screening internally at no cost but external reports are often required for private schools and specific programs.

When should we get a gifted assessment?

Most psychologists recommend waiting until age 6 or later, because cognitive scores before age 6 are less stable. If school board gifted identification is the goal, timing often depends on board-specific windows (often grade 2 or 3 in Ontario). Private school and IB applications usually request reports from the past two or three years. Earlier is not always better: testing too young can underestimate ability or miss twice-exceptional patterns.

Should we do a gifted assessment or a full psychoeducational assessment?

A gifted assessment is the right choice when the only question is intellectual giftedness and the report is for program placement or admissions. A psychoeducational assessment is broader and is the right choice if learning disorders, attention, or processing concerns are also possible, or if the school requires a full report with recommendations. Many families start with a consult to clarify which is the right fit.

Can a child be both gifted and have ADHD or a learning disability?

Yes, this is called twice-exceptional (2e). About 10 to 15 percent of gifted children also have ADHD, a specific learning disorder, or autism, and 2e profiles are often missed because the two conditions mask each other. A child who seems to be coasting may actually be compensating for an undiagnosed ADHD assessment or learning disability assessment issue. If you suspect both, a full psychoeducational assessment that captures both the gifted profile and any co-occurring conditions is usually the right starting point.

Can adults get a gifted assessment?

Yes. Adults sometimes pursue gifted assessment for self-understanding, Mensa eligibility, gifted adult support communities, or to help interpret a lifelong pattern of being bored, unrecognized, or misdiagnosed. Testing uses the WAIS-IV and follows a similar process to child assessment. Some adults find the formal identification meaningful, others find that self-identification is enough. Adult assessments are priced similarly to child assessments.

What happens after a gifted assessment?

The report includes the cognitive profile, identification status, and recommendations for enrichment, acceleration, or specialized programs. School boards use it for gifted program placement; private schools and IB programs use it for admissions. If the profile shows twice-exceptional patterns, additional support from ADHD therapists or child therapists therapists may be recommended alongside academic enrichment. Gifted children sometimes need support with perfectionism, social fit with age peers, or existential questions that emerge earlier than in neurotypical peers.
