Our Services

At Little Thinkers, we provide thoughtful and thorough psychological assessments for children and adolescents. 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.
