Our assessments provide the foundation for developing personalised education plans that address specific learning challenges and capitalise on unique strengths.
Our assessment process is designed to be comprehensive, efficient, and supportive. Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved:

We begin with a detailed discussion with parents or guardians to gather important information about your child’s learning history, strengths, weaknesses, and any specific concerns.
Our psychologists administer a variety of assessments tailored to your child’s age and needs. These sessions typically involve:
Once the assessments are complete, we’ll schedule a feedback session to discuss the results. Our psychologists will explain the findings in clear and concise terms, addressing any questions or concerns you may have.

A combination of assessments may be necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of your child’s learning profile.

If you have concerns about your child’s learning or behaviour, please don’t hesitate to contact our team. We can discuss your child’s specific needs and recommend the most appropriate assessment plan. Together, we can work to unlock your child’s full potential.
A diagnostic assessment in education is a detailed evaluation used to identify a student’s strengths, challenges, and specific learning needs. It helps uncover underlying difficulties such as dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning differences, enabling tailored support and intervention.
Academic testing measures a student’s knowledge, skills, and progress in areas like reading, writing, and mathematics. These tests help assess performance against age-appropriate benchmarks and identify areas requiring additional focus.
An educational assessment typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the type of assessment and the age of the student. This includes breaks to ensure comfort and optimal performance during testing.
Educational assessments are suitable for children as young as 4 years old and extend through adolescence. They are particularly beneficial during critical learning stages or when challenges in academic progress arise.
Take the first step towards a brighter future. Schedule a consultation with our experienced psychologists in Chermside to discuss your child’s unique needs.
