Intellectual testing is available for children aged 6 years to 16 years 11 months, and adults aged 16 to 90 years.

All testing sessions will involve an initial interview to gain background information, testing sessions to administer the assessments and any relevant questionnaires, and a final feedback session following the completion of report writing to help you understand the final results and recommendations provided.

It should be noted that for all of these tests, there is no guarantee of a diagnosis. All diagnoses are dependent on observations and results of assessments and questionnaires. In some situations, a recommendation may be given for further testing. However, all tests will include recommendations for the client and a focus on the strengths and weaknesses identified in the individual regardless of whether a diagnosis is given or not.
