Young Minds Psychology

Assessments

Young Minds Psychology offers a range of assessment services, which include:

• Cognitive testing (i.e. IQ), academic achievement and specific learning difficulty assessments (e.g. dyslexia assessments).

• Neurodevelopmental assessments, including assessments identifying autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

• Emotional and behavioural development assessments (e.g. anxiety).

• Assessments regarding eligibility for educational supports.

Each assessment is tailored towards the unique needs of a young person. All assessments are aimed at investigating the area of focus in the context of a young person's family and educational background. The number of sessions required for an assessment depends on a young persons specific presentation. With client consent assessments can involve communication and consultation with educators or other professionals in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of needs.
