--- QUESTIONS
when it comes to JVS, do I meet the requirements? (Individuals with intellectual disabilities; Individuals with learning disabilities; Multiple challenges (i.e. long-term unemployed, homeless, mental health issues)).

- this one is super cool, hmm.. 7/10?. - it seems like it would be very interesting but my first concern is it potentially being superfluous as I imagine myself fairly knowledgable about my skills, interests, personality and values. I mean through certain lenses at least. But I do recognize there is a good chance I might learn so so much. but I worry I wont and it would be a waste. Maybe I especially know my values and perhaps interests; partially my personality and less so my skills? or a bit for personality?
JVS - Career Exploration and Counselling ::: Career counselling at JVS Toronto will help you identify your interests, skills, personality and values to build a clear picture of what will make you feel happy and fulfilled in your career.
what you get:
  A Career Assessment Profile a summary of your skills, interests, personality and values to help you determine what occupations you are best suited for.
  Resources and tools to assist you in making informed career choices.
  Advice on the education and training required to help you reach your career goals.
  Information about specific job and career paths that are realistic, attainable and match your life goals.


- ?/10 - this one seems slightly weaker than Career Exploration. It has some merits the other does not for sure but the other seems wider. Which while lacking perhaps details such as abilities, seems more of an aid for weaving together a quality and meaningful life, rather than focusing too tightly on one strand. Though that strand is one of my weakest so maybe it needs more intensive attention...
Vocational and Psychovocational Assessments
what you get:
  A detailed profile of your unique abilities and skills.
  A clear understanding of job options that match your aptitudes.
  A report that clearly identifies jobs and occupations that match your learning profile.


- ?/10 - this one.. I kinda wish everyone could take. Also the first one. Who knows what could be uncovered here. The risk for this choice is that what if I dont have any disabilities and its a waste of their time/money. Though if they are uncovered.. that could be a serious aid. This could also be a key-ring for learning how to learn. Or learning as appropriate to my constitution. One worry for this choice is that if it is too Psychological, not faith inclusive. I can survive such things but ya know.
- these programs are so effin expensive I dont think I could justify going to something like a psychoeducational assessment, but holy moly I wish I could take them all. Really, I wish everyone could take them. Infact, I will be sure to make them available on my website asap.
JVS - Psychoeducational Assessments ::: A psychoeducational assessment identifies areas of strength and weakness in a students learning profile and provides a deeper understanding of their educational abilities. It can also identify Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Intellectual Disabilities, reading (dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia) and mathematic (dyscalculia) challenges and other mental health issues that can interfere with learning.
You will get:
  A clear understanding of you or your childs academic strengths and challenges relating to learning aptitudes, information processing, and academic skills.
  The diagnosis of a learning disability, ADHD or developmental disability if present.
  An action plan for improving academic performance.
  A list of recommended accommodations to seek from schools.
How it works:
Before the first session, we will send you a background questionnaire to complete prior to your assessment.
  Cognitive and behavioural testing will examine how you or your child reasons and solves problems, and test their memory and organizational skills.
  Examine signs of mental health concerns such as anxiety, stress or sadness.
  Academic testing designed to discover academic abilities such as reading, writing and math compared to other students of the same age.
  Your final report will be reviewed with you to explain the results and answer any further questions you may have.
