Meeting a Growing Mental Health Need in Latin America
Across Latin America, the demand for high-quality clinical assessments – as well as mental health software and integrated clinical technology platforms – is accelerating. According to the United Nations Development Programme, one in four people in the region will experience a mental health disorder in their lifetime, and rates of anxiety and depression are rising faster than global averages (UNDP, “Strong on the Outside, Struggling Within: A decline in Mental Health in LAC,” 2023).
Through this partnership, clinicians, healthcare providers, educational institutions and public organizations will gain access not only to internationally recognized assessments, but also to locally adapted versions supported by regional norms, clinical training programs and digital delivery platforms—enabling more accurate diagnosis, better decision-making and improved outcomes.
This agreement represents a major step forward in democratizing access to high-quality psychological knowledge across Spanish-speaking Latin America.
Daniel Giunti, President of Giunti Psychometrics
By combining Pearson’s globally trusted assessment portfolio with Giunti’s longstanding presence, scientific expertise and commitment to local adaptation, we are creating a robust ecosystem that empowers professionals and ultimately benefits individuals, families and communities across the region.
Assessments that Set the Global Standard
Among the notable assessments covered by the partnership are the WAIS-5, the gold standard for measuring adult cognitive ability; the WPPSI-IV, a child-friendly tool designed to assess early intellectual development; and the Bayley-4, a premier developmental scale that evaluates cognitive, language, and motor milestones in infants and toddlers. Together, these assessments provide comprehensive insights across the lifespan, supporting accurate diagnosis and tailored interventions.
Key Benefits of the Partnership
- Broader access: Expands availability of high-quality, evidence-based clinical assessment tools and trainings for clinicians, educators, and organizations across Latin America.
- Localized solutions: Ensures resources are culturally and linguistically adapted to meet the unique needs of Spanish-speaking Latam markets.
