Assessment & Diagnosis
We offer a range of psychological assessments to evaluate children’s learning, behavioural, social and emotional needs. Our assessments help identify each young person's strengths and needs, and we provide a comprehensive report with tailored recommendations to support both home and school environments.
Not all assessments are conducted for diagnostic purposes. Assessments can also provide valuable insight into your child’s learning profile, including their strengths and challenges, to support planning, intervention, and educational decision-making. If you have concerns about your child’s development or learning, please contact us to discuss which assessment option would best suit your needs.
Please note, we do not conduct mental health or psychological assessments for medico-legal purposes.
Assessment Process
The assessment process involves:
-
A 50 minute initial consultation to discuss your current concerns and gather relevant background information. During this appointment, we will decide which assessment (if any!) is best and explain what you and your child can expect, and how to prepare for the upcoming assessment(s).
-
Contact school teacher and/or Learning & Support Team staff to gather relevant information and concerns (if necessary).
-
Assessment(s) administration. Cognitive and academic assessments are usually booked in 2-hour blocks and scheduled in the morning. These assessments are completed with only your child and the Psychologist in the room, to minimise distractions, however exceptions are sometimes made (this will be discussed in the initial consultation).
-
Assessments are scored and interpreted, and a comprehensive report with tailored recommendations is prepared.
-
A final feedback session 3 weeks following the completion of the final assessment. During this session, the results and recommendations are explained and parents are given an opportunity to ask any questions they may have.
