What to expect from your assessment
During your child's assessment, you can expect a comprehensive and personalised approach designed to provide valuable insights into their unique learning profile. The process begins with a thorough parent and child interview, where our experienced clinicians take the time to understand your concerns, gather relevant background information, and address any specific needs.
​
Next, a battery of tests is carefully selected based on best-practices and individual requirements. These tests cover a wide range of areas and are administered during one or two sessions, ensuring a thorough evaluation of your child's strengths and areas of challenge.
​
Following the assessment, our dedicated team works diligently to prepare a comprehensive report that provides a clear understanding of the findings. This report, delivered within approximately 3-4 weeks, highlights key observations, assessment results, and actionable recommendations tailored to your child's specific needs.
​
Our clinicians are not only experienced professionals but also embrace a neurodiverse-affirming approach, fostering a supportive environment during the engagement with children. We value their unique strengths and perspectives, ensuring a positive experience throughout the assessment process.
​
To further support you and your child, we offer a feedback session to discuss the assessment findings and recommendations in-depth. Additionally, we can facilitate communication and collaboration with your child's school and other treating professionals, enabling a holistic approach to their learning journey.
​
Count on us to provide a comprehensive assessment experience that empowers your child and equips you with the knowledge and guidance necessary to make informed decisions regarding their education and support.
