Psychological assessments are standardised assessments used by Registered Psychologists to either diagnose a disability or disorder or to provide the Psychologist with more information about their client.

Before completing an assessment we will have a session to discuss the concerns. The Psychologist will then complete the assessment. This can either be in person or electronically, depending on the assessment. Some assessments require the parents/carers to complete questions aswell.

Once the assessment is complete some verbal feedback will be provided.

Ellen has extensive experience in a range of assessments including:

-behavioural (e.g for ADHD)

-emotional (e.g for anxiety and depression)

-academic (to assess the academic level of a child or adolescent)

-adaptive (to assess levels of everyday skills)

-intelligence (to assess an IQ)

Other assessments are also available to assist a paediatrician in the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The cost for completing an assessments is available in the schedule of fees. The costs are determined by the length and complexity of the assessment.

Most assessments will also require a written report to be provided to schools or Paediatricians. This is a separate cost as it also requires extensive preparation and time.
