Cognitive and Educational Assessments
When a child experiences difficulties at school, it can impact their confidence, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Understanding a child’s cognitive strengths and challenges provides valuable insights into their learning style, problem-solving abilities, and development, allowing for tailored support strategies.
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) assesses a child’s overall intellectual abilities, including verbal comprehension, working memory, and processing speed. The Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT) complements this by measuring academic skills such as reading, writing, and mathematics.
Together, these gold-standard assessments provide a comprehensive understanding of a child’s learning profile, helping to identify giftedness, learning difficulties, or areas where additional support may be beneficial.
A full assessment includes a detailed, personalised report and a feedback session to discuss results and recommendations.

Difficulties with attention, organisation, and impulse control can significantly impact a child’s learning, relationships, and day-to-day functioning. An ADHD assessment involves a thorough evaluation using clinical interviews, standardised questionnaires, and behavioural observations. The process helps determine whether ADHD traits are present and how they are affecting the child’s functioning at home, school, and in social situations. A comprehensive, personalised report is provided along with a feedback session to discuss results and recommendations for support.
When a child experiences difficulties with social interaction, communication, or behaviour, it can affect their development, relationships, and overall wellbeing. Gaining a clear understanding of whether Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is present can help guide the right support and interventions.
An ASD assessment involves a comprehensive evaluation of a child’s social communication skills, behavioural patterns, sensory sensitivities, and developmental history. This typically includes a combination of structured diagnostic interviews, parent and teacher questionnaires, and direct observation.
The assessment clarifies whether a child meets criteria for ASD and provides recommendations to support their social, emotional, and educational needs. A detailed, personalised report and a feedback session are included to discuss the outcomes and next steps.
