COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT
Broulee Psychology provides cognitive assessments for all ages. A cognitive test is a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s cognitive abilities, including various aspects of intellectual functioning, such as memory, attention, language, problem solving and executive functioning. A cognitive test is generally recommended for individuals who may be recommended by a school or health professional where there are learning concerns or developmental delays. Cognitive assessments may also be recommended in order to diagnosis an intellectual disability or provide evidence to support giftedness.
HOW DO COGNITIVE ASSESSMENTS WORK?
A cognitive assessment is generally part of a more comprehensive assessment process but may at times be provided as a standalone process. When an individual is recommended a cognitive assessment, your assessing psychologist will want to provide questionnaires to complete and an initial history to gather further information.
The cognitive assessment typically takes 60-90 minutes to complete. The assessment is completed in a one-on-one session and involves answering questions and completing set activities. Following on from this, the assessing psychologist will provide feedback, usually in a follow up session. This will include an explanation of the results, including cognitive strengths and weaknesses as well as personalised recommendations.
HOW MUCH DOES A COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT COST?
The cost for a cognitive assessment is dependent upon the reason for referral and whether any further follow up is required. Because the assessment requires at least 3 assessment sessions, time for scoring and reviewing questionnaires and additional time to write up the personalised report, the cost for this assessment ranges from $1500 - $2000.
