My son is in grade 3 at Montessori and his teacher recommended to test him for giftedness as he is the best student in the class. It’s funny that the teacher asked us to be discreet and not to discuss it at school. Apparently, Montessori doesn’t have gifted classes so they don’t like to mention gifted testing. We asked around and we decided to do the gifted testing at Dr. Shenfield’s centre. My son scored high, but not high enough to be placed in a public gifted program. We are not too far from Pace, which is a private gifted school, so we are going to try it out. Dr. Tali and Mariya were very friendly and professional. We learned a lot about our son’s strengths and weaknesses and got some good recommendations. Hopefully, his score will be enough for Pace…

This review is long overdue. To be honest, I am not entirely comfortable sharing on Unilocal that my son was seeing a psychologist, so I won’t go into many details here… We were really lucky that our pediatrician Dr. Greenberg referred us to Dr. Shenfield. He told us that she is the best and he wasn’t exaggerating. My son was in therapy for almost two years and the change in him was nothing short of miraculous. It has been over a year since he finished therapy and we didn’t have any serious issues at home or at school since then. I don’t know how Dr. Shenfield did it, but we are forever grateful to her for taking care of our son.

I know Dr. Tali for over 10 years, back then she had an office on Sheppard. My parents brought me there to do career assessment… well after five hours of testing it turned out that my parents were totally wrong pushing me to be a doctor, it would’ve been a disaster. I was just not smart enough :-) My university program was Dr. Tali’s second choice, who knows may be I should’ve listened to her and took the first one. Anyway, I totally forgot about Dr. Tali until last year when Josh started having problems at kindergarten, so we naturally went back to her — luckily, she is now up north. I was really pissed off that we had to wait for 3 months(she is super busy) but it was worth it. After 5 sessions all his anger issues were gone and he also become more confident and less clingy. I just hope it stays for long…
