Cognitive Assessments
A cognitive assessment is an assessment of a child or young person’s intellectual profile. A cognitive assessment can tell us how we think, learn, and solve problems. It can be used to tell us more about our cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
These assessment reports can be used educational settings to assist teachers in understanding how a child may learn best. It can also be used to determine whether an individual may meet criteria for an intellectual disability and can be used to assist with applications for the NDIS.
If you are unsure what assessment may be best for your child, we will be able to guide you in the right direction.
Psychoeducational Assessments
A psychoeducational assessment is an assessment of both a child’s cognitive skills and academic skills. These assessments can tell us about how we think, learn, and solve problems. It can be used to tell us more about our strengths and weaknesses in different academic areas (e.g., literacy, numeracy).
These assessments can also be used to assess for Specific Learning Disorder’s (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia). These reports include specific recommendations tailored to a child’s unique cognitive and academic profile including specific strategies or skills to help their child learn best.
If you are unsure what assessment may be best for your child, we will be able to guide you in the right direction.
