Our Assessments
Providing clarity on communication, sensory needs, and diverse ways of thinking and relating.
Autism is a natural variation in human neurology that shapes how people communicate, connect, and experience the world. Our autism assessments aim to provide insights into an individual’s strengths, sensory preferences, and areas where additional support might be helpful.
We use evidence-based tools tailored to different life stages, ensuring the process is supportive and collaborative. Whether you’re seeking clarity for a young child, a teenager navigating school, or an adult exploring self-understanding, our assessments are designed to empower you with information and practical strategies.

Cognitive and Educational Assessments to understand abilities and remove barriers to achievement.
Whether you’re seeking to explore cognitive abilities, understand academic performance, or identify specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia, our assessments provide the clarity you need.
Our comprehensive evaluations are tailored to each individual’s goals, offering insights into cognitive strengths, learning preferences, and areas where support may be needed. For some, this might involve an in-depth cognitive assessment; for others, it could include academic achievement testing or diagnostic evaluations for learning differences.
These assessments aim to provide actionable recommendations that empower individuals and their support networks, fostering confidence and building pathways to success in education, work, and life.

Why Choose Our Psychologists for Your Assessment?
Neuroaffirming Approach
We focus on understanding, celebrating and supporting natural variations in human neurodiversity.
Collaborative Process
Our assessments are grounded in a neuroaffirming approach that values individual differences and prioritises understanding. We aim to highlight each person’s strengths, sensory preferences, and areas of support, recognising that neurodivergence is a natural and valued part of human diversity.
To guide this process, we use the DSM-5 framework as a tool to structure our understanding and collaborate with paediatricians, psychiatrists, and other healthcare professionals. For ADHD and other conditions, this supports diagnostic clarity, while for autism, it informs our identification process, focusing on creating a meaningful understanding of the individual’s experience.
Our reports provide actionable insights, guiding families, schools, and workplaces to build environments where individuals can thrive and feel supported.

What Age Groups Do You Assess?
We provide assessments for individuals from age 2 through to adulthood. Our approach is tailored to each developmental stage, ensuring that children, teens, and adults receive age-appropriate evaluations and recommendations that meet their specific needs.
Do you Diagnose Specific Learning Difficulties (such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, or Dyscalculia)?
We assess current cognitive and academic achievement profiles to determine whether an individual shows patterns consistent with a Specific Learning Disorder in Reading (Dyslexia), Writing (Dysgraphia), or Maths (Dyscalculia).
It's important to know that, according to DSM-5-TR criteria, a formal diagnosis often requires evidence of insufficient progress following targeted intervention. In cases where this criterion has not yet been met, we provide tailored recommendations for interventions and support strategies. After sufficient intervention has been implemented, we can complete a follow-up asssessment and confirm a diagnosis if needed.
Our goal is to provide actionable insights and guidance, ensuring individuals and their families have the tools to move forward effectively.
