Cognitive and Learning Assessments
Cognitive and Learning Assessments help identify how a person receives, processes, and responds to information. A comprehensive assessment of achievement and learning can assist to identify any reading and learning difficulties, specific learning disabilities, learning patterns, and giftedness.
The identification of strengths and areas of challenge can assist schools, workplaces, family and friends to better understand how to support the individual.
Developmental and Behavioural Assessments
Assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), developmental and behavioural assessments are used to help identify where a person may be having difficulties with emotional regulation, communicating and sensory processing.

Psychosocial and Personality Assessments
A personality assessment can assist with understanding why a person may be experiencing ongoing difficulties with interpersonal relationships at home, work, or study. These assessments provide insight into how we perceive the world around us, and take account of trauma, grief and loss, and substance misuse.
