Psychological & Educational Assessments
Psychological and educational assessments are used by Psychologists to assess a range of cognitive (i.e. thinking) abilities in both adults and children. I offer comprehensive individually administered measures of cognitive assessment, which are conducted in a gentle and supportive space that allows both adults and children to feel comfortable and achieve the most accurate and realistic results.

This assessment is often used in conjunction with the appropriate cognitive assessment and the WIAT-III is a clinical tool that assists with:
- Identifying the academic strengths and difficulties of a student
- Informing decisions regarding eligibility for educational services, educational placement, or a diagnosis of a specific Learning Disability
- Designing learning plans and other relevant interventions
The process of cognitive assessment:
- Initial screening consultation – telephone consultation to gather information including developmental history, medical issues, academic difficulties (where applicable), social/family relationships and any other concerns. This is to gain a holistic view of the child/adult to inform, interpret and recommend as appropriate.
- Testing sessions – number of sessions will depend on the individual’s ability and the types of assessments required (usually a minimum of 2 sessions up to 2 hours)
- Scoring and interpretation – the assessment(s) will be scored and interpreted against standardised norms
- Report writing – the background information, behavioural observations during testing, test results and interpretations will be combined into a comprehensive report that includes relevant recommendations
- Feedback session – in this session, I will offer you the outcomes of the testing, the report and relevant recommendations for school or home
Fees (subject to change):
The following fees cover all of the time required to complete the relevant assessment (including initial screening appointment, testing appointment(s), scoring/interpreting, report writing and feedback session):
