Our Services
Our goal is to help families better understand their child’s strengths, challenges, and needs—whether it’s for diagnostic clarity, learning support, or peace of mind. We offer a range of assessment services, each carefully structured to give you clear answers and helpful recommendations.
We understand that some children benefit from multiple types of assessments to gain a fuller picture of their learning and development. When two or more assessments are completed together, a reduced combined fee is offered. Please contact us to discuss the best option for your child and an individualised quote.

ADHD & Attention Assessments
An ADHD assessment helps to explore your child’s attention, focus, impulsivity, and executive functioning (the “thinking skills” that support planning, organisation, and self-control).

Parents often request this assessment to:
Understand whether difficulties with concentration, distractibility, or hyperactivity might indicate ADHD.
Learn more about their child’s self-regulation, behaviour, and learning style.
Access recommendations for the classroom and at home.
Tools used:
Conners-4 rating scales, and in some cases the WISC-V (cognitive assessment) to build a thorough, evidence-based picture of your child’s profile.
