Our Assessment Philosophy.
As an Educational and Developmental Psychology registrar, I believe in tailoring every assessment to the individual rather than relying on a fixed, “one-size-fits-all” approach. While you may see different assessment types listed on the website along with general cost estimates, please understand these are simply starting points. Every person’s needs are unique, and the referral question often requires a more expansive evaluation. Once we discuss your concerns and goals during the initial consultation, we will develop an assessment plan that may draw on multiple methods or tools. In some cases, this process can be broader or more in-depth than what a single, stand-alone assessment would suggest. Because of this, the final cost can vary from the initial quote, but we will always strive to provide clarity, transparency, and a more precise estimate once we determine the best path forward for you or your child.

The Assessment Process
-
Getting Started
To ensure a smooth start to your journey with us, we ask all new clients to complete a few steps before their first session:
1. Online Intake Form: You’ll receive an email with a link to our Online Intake Form via Halaxy alongside our Services Agreement, Privacy Policy and Schedule of Fees. Please read these documents carefully. Completing the Online Intake Form helps us tailor our sessions to better suit your needs and ensures that we have all the necessary information to provide the best care possible.
2. Preparation: Once you’ve completed and submitted the Online Intake Form, you're all set for your first session. We look forward to meeting you and embarking on this journey together.
-
Your first visit focuses on gathering a comprehensive history and understanding the specific chllenges and strengths of the individual. It’s a space for open dialogue where we discuss your primary concerns and what led you to seek an assessment. This session can be conducted face-to-face or via telehealth for your convenience.
Documentation to Bring
Please bring any relevant documents that could provide insight into the individual’s developmental history, such as past medical or educational reports, feedback from teachers, reports and letters from other allied health professionals (e.g., occupational therapist, speech pathologist), or any documented observations over time.
-
Tools & Techniques
For each assessment we employ a blend of evidence-based tools specific to the assessment type (e.g., ADHD, Autism, learning difficulties, brief cognitive, etc.), including structured observations, interviews, and standardised instruments tailored to age an individual presentation.
Duration
Each assessment is thorough and can span multiple sessions to ensure we capture the nuances of the individual’s behaviour and experiences. Each session’s length and the total number of sessions required will vary based on individual needs and type of assessment.
-
After the Assessment
Following the completion of the assessment, we’ll schedule a dedicated feedback session. Here, we’ll discuss the findings, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the results and any potential diagnosis. This session can be conducted face-to-face or via telehealth for your convenience.
Clients will receive a detailed report that outlines the assessment findings, diagnosis (if applicable), and our evidence-based recommendations for the way forward.
