Psychological Assessment

Our assessments fall into three categories: educational, Autism, and ADHD.

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 helps identify the support they need to function best at school and 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 naturally want 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
• Identify 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.

ADHD assessment in adults, children and teenagers

Several of our psychologists can use psychological testing and their professional judgement to advise on how to assess for ADHD if your child or teenager is showing symptoms. We can work with your GP, who can assess and prescribe medication for individuals with ADHD. It is useful for parents of both medicated and unmedicated children to learn coping and management strategies. We can provide coping strategies for the child and support for parents through ADHD coaching. The goal is to maximise happiness and achievement. It is common for ADHD to be accompanied by other disorders, and this can be discussed.  Psychologists frequently address these. All of our child psychologists work with children and teenagers with ADHD and their co-morbid conditions. Here is a link to ADHD assessments.
