If your child is struggling with the demands of school, behaviour or managing their emotions, it is important to explore if there are any underlying issues that might be impacting their learning or wellbeing. We understand the process of assessment can be confusing, so we will guide you on the right assessment for your child depending on your concerns, talk you through what will be involved, and explain the results in simple, clear language.

Psychological and educational assessments help you to understand your child’s individual strengths, challenges, and ways of learning. By gaining a clear picture of their abilities, educational adjustments can be tailored to support your child’s needs. You can make informed decisions and confidently advocate for the support your child requires to reach their full potential both in and outside of school.

With our experience in both psychology and teaching, we tailor our recommendations based on our understanding of effective classroom strategies and evidence based psychological research. We work collaboratively with parents, teachers and other health professionals to ensure a comprehensive approach to assessing each child.
