Cognitive &
Academic Assessments

Cognitive Assessments

We provide comprehensive cognitive assessments for children, adolescents, and adults using a neurodiversity-affirming and strengths-based approach. These assessments help build a deeper understanding of how a person thinks, learns, processes information, remembers, solves problems, and manages everyday demands.

Assessments may explore areas such as intellectual strengths, giftedness, learning differences, executive functioning, adaptive functioning, processing speed, working memory, and support needs across school, work, and daily life. Depending on the referral question, assessments may include measures such as the WISC-V, WAIS-IV, WPPSI-IV, ABAS-3, academic testing, questionnaires, and clinical observations.

Our assessments go beyond scores alone to understand the individual as a whole, including their learning style, strengths, challenges, emotional wellbeing, sensory experiences, and functional impact across environments.

Following the assessment, clients receive a highly detailed written report, typically completed within six weeks. Reports are practical, easy to understand, and designed to support real-world outcomes. They include:

  • Cognitive strengths and challenge areas
  • Functional impact and learning profile
  • Executive functioning and adaptive functioning insights
  • Individualised strategies and recommendations
  • School, workplace, university, and daily living accommodations
  • Guidance for families, educators, and support professionals

 

Our goal is to help individuals and families better understand how their brains work, while identifying supports and strategies that promote confidence, well-being, and long-term success.

We conduct the following:

  • WPPSI-IV: for children under 6 years

  • WISC-V: for children and teens aged 6–16 years

  • WAIS-IV: for adults 16+ years

Cost: $1700.00

Academic Assessments (Specific Learning Difficulties)

We provide comprehensive academic assessments for children, adolescents, and adults to better understand an individual’s learning profile, including both strengths and areas where additional support may be helpful. These assessments explore skills across reading, writing, spelling, mathematics, comprehension, and written expression, helping to identify learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia.

Before the assessment, clients or families complete a detailed pre-intake form to provide background information about learning history, educational experiences, strengths, and current concerns. This allows the assessment process to be tailored to the individual’s unique profile and support needs.

Our assessments go beyond identifying difficulties alone. We aim to understand how a child learns best, why certain tasks may feel more effortful, and what strategies, accommodations, and supports can help them thrive across school, university, work, and daily life.

Following the assessment, clients receive a highly detailed written report with practical and easy-to-understand recommendations, including:

  • Learning strengths and challenge areas
  • Reading, writing, spelling, and mathematics profiles
  • Individualised support strategies
  • Recommendations for school, workplace, or university accommodations
  • Guidance for educators, parents, and support professionals
  • Documentation to support applications for educational supports or NDIS funding where appropriate

 

Assessments may include:

  • WIAT-III (Ages 4+) – exploring academic skills across reading, writing, spelling, and mathematics, including areas commonly associated with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia.
  • Tests of Dyslexia Assessment (TOD) – assessing areas such as reading accuracy, fluency, comprehension, spelling, and phonological processing to explore whether a person’s learning profile is consistent with dyslexia.

 

Our goal is to help individuals and families better understand the learning process, build confidence, and access supports that allow strengths and potential to shine.

Cost: $1700.00

If both an academic and cognitive assessment are required, the overall cost is reduced to $2800.00
