Assessment can help provide a clearer understanding of how your child thinks, learns, and processes the world. It can also guide supports at school and at home, and assist in understanding emotional, behavioural, and developmental needs.

All assessments are tailored to your child’s individual needs and may be combined depending on the presenting concerns. This will be discussed in detail during the initial consultation session.

Initial Consultation

All assessments begin with an initial 90-minute consultation ($345). This session is an important first step and provides space to explore current concerns, developmental history, strengths, and goals for assessment. It also helps determine the most appropriate and supportive assessment pathway for your child.

Depending on your child’s needs, an assessment may explore one or more areas, including:

Cognitive (Intellectual Assessment)

This assessment provides information about your child’s overall IQ, or thinking and problem solving skills, as well as individual strengths and weaknesses.

Learning and Academic Development, (Psychoeducational Assessment) 

This assessment explores how a child learns and performs academically across areas such as reading, writing, and mathematics. It can help identify learning strengths, areas requiring support, and appropriate intervention strategies, and may assist in identifying Specific Learning Disorders, including difficulties commonly referred to as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia.

Neurodevelopmental Assessment

Assessment of executive functioning, attention, emotional regulation, social communication and developmental differences  are also provided and may assist in identifying neurodevel,opemntal profiles such as Autism and/or ADHD.

The Assessment Journey

Following the initial consultation, the process is flexible and tailored, and may include:

• Assessment sessions
• Questionnaires (completed by parents and/or teachers, where helpful)
• Scoring and interpretation
