Respectful assessment.

We provide psychological assessments for children and adolescents to better understand neurodevelopment including Autism and ADHD profiles, learning differences, sensory and regulation needs, and the diverse ways children process and respond to the world.

Our approach recognises that neurodivergence itself is not a deficit. While differences can present challenges in some environments, meaningful support starts with accurate, respectful understanding that honours each child’s unique profile and potential.

Assessment Process

Our assessments include direct work with the child, caregiver interviews, collaboration with healthcare providers, observations at daycare or school input where appropriate, and a written report with practical recommendations.

Working together starts here

We often work with families exploring questions around attention, sensory processing, communication, learning differences, and social development including assessments for Autism and ADHD. Our assessments are available from age 4 and are designed to support school planning, funding applications, and clearer next steps when things feel uncertain.

We accept referrals for children and adolescents from:

  • Parents & Caregivers
  • GPs and Paediatricians
  • Schools and Early Childhood Educators
  • Other Allied Health Professionals
