Our Assessment Process
Initial Assessment Appointment
The assessment process begins with a comprehensive initial appointment to gain a detailed understanding of current concerns, developmental history, educational or workplace functioning, and any relevant medical or mental health background.
This appointment helps determine the most appropriate assessment pathway and ensures recommendations are guided by both assessment results and important historical information.
Assessment & Questionnaires
Depending on the assessment type, the process may include:
Standardised assessment tools
Clinical interviews
Parent, caregiver, partner, or teacher questionnaires
Behavioural observations
Review of school reports or previous documentation
Feedback & Recommendations
Once assessments have been completed, a feedback session is provided to explain results, discuss recommendations, and outline appropriate next steps and supports.
Where appropriate, comprehensive written reports may also be provided to support recommendations within school, university, workplace, or healthcare settings.
