Our assessments

Three core assessment types

A good assessment should do more than produce a diagnosis. It should give you a genuine understanding of what is going on and recommendations you can act on at home, at school or at work.

Assessment 01

ADHD assessment

For children, teenagers and adults who struggle with focus, organisation, restlessness or impulsivity. Combines clinical interviews, questionnaires, school reports, cognitive testing and a structured diagnostic interview.

Assessment 02

Cognitive (IQ) assessment

Measures thinking and reasoning abilities using the WISC-V or WAIS-IV. Useful for understanding strengths and difficulties, and for identifying giftedness or intellectual disability.

Cognitive assessment →
Assessment 03

Learning assessment

Academic testing of reading, writing and maths using the WIAT-III, to assess for Specific Learning Disorder such as dyslexia, dysgraphia or dyscalculia.

Every feedback session is a chance to go through your comprehensive written report with your psychologist. The report is then yours to keep.

Yes. All of our assessments are available for children, adolescents and adults.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can contact us directly to book an assessment.

What do I receive at the end?

A feedback session to go through your results, and a comprehensive written report with clear, practical recommendations that is yours to keep.

We see clients at our clinic at 24/981 North Road, Murrumbeena, close to Carnegie, Hughesdale, Oakleigh, Bentleigh East and Chadstone, and via telehealth.
