Our Cognitive Clinic proudly offers our unique I.D.E.A.L. approach to Diagnostic Psychological Assessment.
Our Individually Tailored Easy to understand Assessments for Learning, including cognition (IQ), education, social, emotional and behavioural development, ensures that we find solutions to often complex problems that the individual is facing when we first meet.
An assessment is all about explaining what is going on by understanding the individual’s profile of strengths, any gaps that may help explain difficulties, and most importantly, providing recommendations on what is next!
Jackie Schell is a highly experienced Clinical Psychologist with a holistic scientific approach, who uses a variety of specialised tests and assessment tools to observe your behaviour, abilities and areas of your life that need support.
To understand how we think: this is called IQ testing or a test of Cognitive Functioning
To understand if attention and concentration is based in neurological disorders, like ADHD
To understand academic achievement to uncover Learning Difficulties
To determine memory capacity – short term memory/working memory/long-term memory
To understand emotional, behavioural, social and functional aspects of everyday life
To determine or clarify diagnoses
And to help demonstrate improvements over time
New and existing clients are welcome. Referrals are NOT needed for Assessments.
If your child has previously had aspects of an assessment (e.g. An IQ has already been completed) then the cost of the assessment can be revised to take that into account.
We use gold standard testing methods that align with current professional and legislative standards. We provide detailed reports of your results to help you access the support you need.
