We measure your child's intellectual development and diagnose strengths and weaknesses, look for causes and give advice about their education.
The intellectual development diagnosis test is carried out using Dalton School's unique SGK test.
Assessment using the SGK intelligence diagnostic test does not yield an intelligence quotient, as other tests do, but seeks to measure your child's mental ability from two different angles, those of mental content (visual, symbolic and semantic) and mental operations (cognition, memory, divergent production, convergent production, evaluation). The kids' and elementary children's “Lab” is a program based upon this mental content and mental workings.

Example of the results of a diagnosis
4 years old who is not very strong at “semantics”
One cause for the “semantic factor” being low could be a lack of conversation. “Don't do that!” “Do it this way,” are instructions and admonishments — examples of one-way traffic rather than conversation. Listen to what your child has to say for just twenty minutes a day, even ten minutes. Even just repeating what they have to say back to them parrot-fashion will suffice.
An elementary school child who is not very strong at “divergent production”
Does your child respond to the teacher's instructions well but does little of his or her own accord? One cause for this weakness is that the child receives too many instructions. Even if they think that they would like to do something, they apply the brakes on themselves because they think “I'll get scolded again.” Let's be careful not to intervene too much.
