Assessments

Fees vary depending on what assessment is required and range between $895 for a standard cognitive assessment to $2950 for a comprehensive assessment including ASD, ADHD, Cognitive and Achievement assessments. A standard ASD assessment with a comprehensive report is $1670. Medicare only offers rebates for ASD assessments with a valid paediatrician or child psychiatrist referral (around $170 is rebated). There are no Medicare rebates for other assessments. Please note that these prices are guides only as your assessing clinician will make a recommendation of what assessment will best meet your needs and discuss the associated fees with you in your first appointment. 

Cognitive Assessments

Cognitive (or intelligence) assessments examine general thinking and reasoning abilities, rather than grade-level knowledge. The are three assessments offered at Hopscotch & Harmony are the most current versions and are recognised by the Department of Education for funding applications. Read more about our cognitive assessments

Educational Assessments

Educational assessments help identify the academic strengths and weaknesses of a student. They are tests of achievement and measure how much an individual has learned in specific areas such as maths, reading, writing and spelling. Results may inform decision making regarding educational placement, may contribute to a Specific Learning Disorder diagnosis, and also inform appropriate intervention.  Read more about our educational assessments

In addition to a 2-hour parent/carer interview, the diagnostic process includes the ADOS-2, an observational assessment of social and communication skills, and restricted and repetitive interests and stereotyped patterns of behaviour, as well as rating scales for parents and educators to complete. A kinder/school observation may also be required.

ADHD

A comprehensive assessment for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder includes a thorough developmental history, cognitive assessment, administration of behavioural scales, and possible a school observation. Before a diagnosis of ADHD is given our psychologists ensure any issues with sleep, nutrition, and parent education are addressed. For children who have experienced trauma it may be recommended that a trauma-informed intervention be completed before an ADHD diagnosis can be confidently given. We want to make sure any diagnosis is accurate so we are very thorough to make sure the behaviours and challenges are not best explained by another cause. 

Behaviour Assessments

We offer a range of behavioural assessments to help understand young people better and to recommend appropriate interventions or further, more comprehensive, assessment. We use the BASC, Connors, Vineland, CBCL as needed, depending on the referral questions. 

Giftedness Assessment

Early identification and appropriate educational responses to young gifted students increases the probability of future success. Being adequately challenged is likely to maintain a strong desire to learn and decrease the risk of social, behavioural, emotional, and/or educational problems.
​

Our giftedness assessment includes a review of your child’s cognitive, social, family and emotional history as well as a cognitive (IQ) assessment. The Gifted Rating Scales may also be administered to parents/carers and teachers. The rating scales offer flexibility that complements and extends information from the cognitive assessment.

Intellectual Disability Assessment

This assessment includes a cognitive assessment (WPPSI, WISC or WAIS) as well as a Vineland-3 completed by a teacher and/or parent in order to meet DSM-V criteria.
