Educational and Cognitive Assessments for Children and Adolescents
We offer comprehensive educational and cognitive assessments in Perth to help identify learning difficulties, evaluate intellectual strengths, and support personalised education plans. These assessments are ideal for children and teens experiencing academic challenges, struggling with attention or processing, or needing clarification around school readiness, giftedness, or potential learning disorders.
Learning Difficulties Assessments
Learning assessments investigate areas such as reading, writing, maths, working memory, processing speed, and phonological skills. These can support diagnoses such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or general learning disorders. They are commonly used to inform school support plans, access accommodations, or provide recommendations to allied health professionals.

- Academic achievement testing (e.g. WIAT-III or similar)
