We’ll conduct a comprehensive interview to gather essential information about your background, medical history, developmental milestones, and any specific concerns you may have. This initial conversation helps us tailor the assessment process to your individual needs and ensures that we have a clear understanding of your strengths and areas for growth.
During the testing sessions, we’ll administer a variety of standardised assessments and questionnaires to evaluate your cognitive abilities, adaptive skills, and overall functioning. These assessments may include measures of verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, processing speed, fluid reasoning, and adaptive behaviours. We’ll carefully select the most appropriate tests based on your age, developmental level, and specific needs.
Once the assessment process is complete, we’ll schedule a feedback session to discuss our findings and recommendations. During this session, we’ll provide you with a detailed written report that summarises your performance on the assessments, highlights your strengths and areas for improvement, and offers personalised recommendations for further support or interventions. We’ll also take the time to answer any questions you may have and discuss how our findings can be used to inform future educational, vocational, or therapeutic goals.

Intellectual disabilities are assessed using standardised IQ tests to measure cognitive abilities and adaptive behaviour evaluations to determine how well an individual manages everyday tasks. This comprehensive process helps identify specific support needs and strengths.
An intelligence test includes activities designed to assess skills like reasoning, problem-solving, memory, and comprehension. It often involves answering questions, completing puzzles, and responding to scenarios. The results provide insights into cognitive strengths and challenges to inform personalised interventions.
A social skills assessment evaluates an individual’s ability to communicate effectively, interpret social cues, and build relationships. It is beneficial for anyone experiencing challenges in social interactions, particularly individuals with Autism, ADHD, or social anxiety. The assessment guides tailored strategies to improve social confidence and functionality.
