Psychological Assessment

Our assessments can be broadly classified in to Educational assessment  and ADHD assessment.

Educational Assessments

Educational assessments are administered to determine a child’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses, as well as language and written abilities. Understanding a child’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses can identify what support they need to function best at school, as well as in their social and family environments. Sometimes additional assessment tools are required which we can discuss as part of the overall assessment process.

We understand that parents have a natural desire for their child to be happy and flourish, so we will work together to tailor an effective strategy moving forward based on practical recommendations. After all, a diagnosis is only helpful if it provides a pathway towards a solution.

The assessments will:

• Identify the unique learning profile of children who are having difficulties at school
• Identification of a learning difficulty
• Provide recommendations on specific interventions that will improve the child’s functioning in the classroom
• Provide advice on how the child’s learning can be supported at school and home
• Identify gifted children, so that appropriate educational planning and extension can be undertaken
