For children aged 6 years and over (WISC-V)
Useful to gain insight into a child’s specific areas of cognitive strength and weakness to inform intervention and support learning, or assess for giftedness.
Intellectual Disability
Comprehensive DSM-5 diagnostic assessment of intellectual & adaptive functioning.
ADHD assessments are suitable for children with suspected ADHD and can be used to inform or support formal diagnosis by medical professionals such as Paediatricians or Psychiatrists. ADHD assessments also offer parents and teachers a greater understanding of the child's unique cognitive profile, including areas of strength and weakness. Recommendations for ways to support the child based on their cognitive profile are also offered as part of the assessment report.
Psychological Consultation Services
This service provides a 'one-off' consultation with the Psychologist. This includes clinical interview, a battery of basic screening assessment tools, and observation/assessment of the child. Parent's concerns regarding their child's presentation are collaboratively explored and specific recommendations offered; based on interview, observation and psychometric data obtained. Reports of findings and recommendations are provided upon request (additional cost applies).
