Spatial Reasoning:

• Visualizing and manipulating shapes

• Completing block patterns

• Understanding part–whole relationships

These areas capture foundational thinking skills that support learning in school, such as following classroom directions, reasoning through new concepts, and approach to problem solving. The activities are age‑appropriate and engaging for young children.

Ages 8 Years and Above

🧠 What Is Assessed?

For children from ~8 years and up, we provide a brief but robust cognitive profile that measures:

Verbal (Crystallized) Reasoning:

• Understanding and using language

• Vocabulary and concept knowledge

• Reasoning with words and ideas
  
  

Non‑Verbal (Fluid) Reasoning:

• Logical problem solving

• Pattern and sequence recognition

• Ability to think without relying on language
  
  

These two areas are combined to give an overall cognitive ability score that reflects the child’s reasoning potential and readiness for school learning.
