Assessments

Understanding your child’s unique strengths and needs is a vital step in helping them thrive. I offer comprehensive assessments designed to give you the clarity and confidence you need to support your child’s growth and development.

What I Assess

I specialise in the assessment of neurodevelopmental differences in children, including:

  • ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  • Intellectual Disability
  • Learning Disorders (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia)

Each assessment is tailored to your child, focusing on their individuality and providing a deeper understanding of how they learn, grow, and experience the world.

What You Can Expect

1. Personalised Evaluations
Your child’s assessment will be thorough and individualised, focusing on understanding their unique strengths and challenges.

2. Clear Results and Practical Guidance
I’ll explain the findings in straightforward terms, ensuring you understand what they mean for your child. Together, we’ll discuss meaningful recommendations and strategies tailored to your child’s needs.

3. Ongoing Support
From the initial consultation to the final report, I’ll be with you every step of the way. You’ll feel heard, supported, and confident in the steps forward for your child.

How Assessments Can Help

The insights gained through a comprehensive assessment can:

  • Help you better understand your child’s behaviour, learning, and development.
  • Provide clarity on potential diagnoses, such as ADHD or autism.
  • Inform decisions about educational supports, therapies, and interventions.
  • Empower you with strategies to help your child thrive in their daily life.
