OUR ASSESSMENT SERVICES
We offer comprehensive evaluations tailored to each child’s needs, including:
​
ADHD Assessment
If your child struggles with attention, impulsivity, or hyperactivity, an ADHD assessment can provide clarity. Our assessments combine interviews, observation, and standardised measures to understand your child’s strengths and challenges. Results help guide strategies for home, school, and daily life.
​
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Assessment
Understanding autism early can make a significant difference. Our ASD assessments explore social communication, behaviour, and sensory processing to provide a full picture of your child’s needs. This information supports planning, therapy, and educational strategies.
​
Learning Difficulties Assessment
Children can face challenges in reading, writing, mathematics, or processing information. Our learning difficulties assessments help identify specific barriers to learning, whether related to dyslexia, dyscalculia, or other cognitive processing issues. We provide clear recommendations for home and school support.
​
​
​
Cognitive Assessment
Our cognitive assessments measure intellectual and problem-solving skills, memory, attention, and reasoning. These assessments help identify learning strengths and areas that may benefit from targeted support, assisting with educational planning and goal setting.
