Our Assessment Philosophy.
“As an Educational and Developmental Psychologist, I believe in tailoring every assessment to the individual rather than relying on a fixed, “one-size-fits-all” approach. While you may see different assessment types listed on the website along with general cost estimates, please understand these are simply starting points. Every person’s needs are unique, and the referral question often requires a more expansive evaluation. Once we discuss your concerns and goals during the initial consultation, we will develop an assessment plan that may draw on multiple methods or tools. In some cases, this process can be broader or more in-depth than what a single, stand-alone assessment would suggest. Because of this, the final cost can vary from the initial quote, but we will always strive to provide clarity, transparency, and a more precise estimate once we determine the best path forward for you or your child.”

Which Assessment is Right for Your Child?
ADHD Assessment
James’s Concern: “My daughter, Lily, is seven, and her teacher says she’s always on the go—fidgeting, forgetting tasks, and jumping from one thing to another. At home, it’s hard to get her to focus on homework. Could it be ADHD?”
How We Help: An ADHD assessment suits Lily’s needs. We’ll talk with you and her teacher, observe her behaviour, and use questionnaires to see if ADHD is behind her restlessness. You’ll get a report with practical tips to help her shine at school and home.
School Readiness Assessment
Priya’s Question: “My son, Arjun, is nearly five, and I’m unsure if he’s ready for big school. He loves stories but struggles to hold a pencil or follow group games. I want to know if he needs extra support before starting.”
How We Help: A school readiness assessment is perfect for Arjun. We’ll check his skills—like listening, sharing, and early learning—through fun activities and chats with you. This gives you a clear picture of his strengths and any areas to boost before school begins.
Psycho-Educational Assessment
Michael’s Struggle: “My son, Ethan, is eleven, and school’s getting tough. He’s falling behind in maths and writing, plus he’s acting out—getting cross or refusing tasks. I’m not sure if it’s learning issues, behaviour, or both.”
How We Help: A psychoeducational assessment fits Ethan’s situation. It’s a deep dive into his learning abilities (like memory and problem-solving) and behaviour patterns, using tests, observations, and your insights. You’ll receive a detailed report explaining what’s going on—whether it’s learning difficulties, emotional challenges, or both—with tailored ideas to help him thrive.
Autism Assessment
Sarah’s Worry: “My son, Ollie, is four, and he seems to live in his own world sometimes. He loves lining up his toys but gets so upset if plans change, and he doesn’t chat with other kids much. I’m wondering if it could be autism.”
How We Help: An Autism assessment is the right step for Ollie. It involves watching how he plays, talks, and interacts, plus chats with you about his routines. We use trusted tools to understand if autism explains his behaviours, giving you clear answers and ideas to support him at home and nursery.
Learning Difficulty Assessment
Emma’s Wondering: “My daughter, Chloe, is nine, and reading is a real battle for her. She mixes up letters and avoids books, even though she’s bright in other ways. Could it be dyslexia or something like that?”
How We Help: A learning difficulty assessment is ideal for Chloe. We’ll test her reading, writing, and spelling, looking at how she processes words. If it’s dyslexia or another challenge, you’ll get a straightforward report with steps to support her learning, from school adjustments to home strategies.
