Psychological Assessments by Paola Caponetto, M.Ed.

I am a registered psychologist with the College of Psychologists of Ontario and a Behaviour Analyst since 2004. I graduated in 2000 with a Master’s in School Psychology from the University of Manitoba. With over 23 years of experience, I currently work part-time at the Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) as a school psychologist, where I apply a holistic approach to provide psychoeducational services. Additionally, I have contributed my expertise to two other school boards in Ontario. My part-time practice is located in London, Ontario.

Comprehensive Psychological Assessments: As a Registered Psychologist, I am highly skilled in conducting thorough assessments to diagnose and support individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Learning Disabilities (LD), Giftedness, Intellectual Disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and a variety of social-emotional issues. Holistic Approach: My practice employs a holistic approach, integrating different modalities and drawing from a wide range of evidence-based practices to identify, address, and support learning, academic, attentional, adaptive, executive, social-emotional, and mental health challenges. Direct Support & Coaching: I provide hands-on support, coaching, and individualized plans tailored to each person’s unique strengths and needs. Strength-Based Recommendations: My recommendations focus on empowering the whole person, building on strengths, and supporting both the individual and their care team. Collaboration & Trust: I believe that building trust and working closely with clients, families, and care teams is essential for effective support and positive outcomes. Collaboration and establishing trust are at the heart of my practice. Training & Professional Development: My passion lies in providing psychoeducational services and training others, continually integrating new knowledge and holistic modalities into my practice. I am committed to ongoing professional development and stay current with the latest research and best practices in psychology and education.
