Our services.
Cognitive Assessment
A cognitive assessment is a test of intellectual ability. It is commonly known as an “IQ test” and provides an indication of an individual's ability to think and reason. A cognitive assessment can help to identify the strengths and weaknesses of an individual and how to best support them across different contexts.
Specific Learning Disorder
Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) are commonly found in the areas of reading and spelling although it can also occur in the areas of writing and maths. The different types of SLDs are commonly referred to as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia.
Autism Assessment
We use gold standard, evidence-based tools in our approach to the diagnosis of Autism. We collaborate closely with other health professionals, such as your paediatrician, and you in this process.
Educational Assessment
An educational assessment comprises a cognitive and achievement assessment. This can help to build a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s cognitive and academic abilities, and inform how to best support the individual’s learning going forward.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children and adults. It is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD is typically diagnosed in collaboration with a paediatrician or psychiatrist. We use evidence-based tools in the diagnosis of ADHD.
