Learning assessments

When school feels harder than it should

Trouble focusing, falling behind, or a teacher raising concerns can all point to something underneath. Our psychological assessments help identify ADHD, autism and the learning difficulties that often come with them, so your child can get the right support at school and at home.

Every assessment is led by a registered psychologist who takes the time to get to know your child, not just the checklist. We look at the whole picture, from home and school to family life, so the answers feel right for your family.

  • Comprehensive written report and diagnosis
  • Practical recommendations for teachers and schools
  • A feedback session for parents to talk through results
  • Completed from home via telehealth
