Comprehensive Assessments

At Eastern Suburbs Child Psychology we use the latest assessment methodology for reliable diagnosis.

  • psychoeducational: intelligence (IQ) and educational achievement assessments
  • assessment for giftedness
  • behavioural and emotional difficulties assessment

How do we carry out the assessment?

You will be asked to complete a background information questionnaire about your child in the first session.

 We collect information about your child from you and your child’s pre-school or school. Following the assessment, we provide a full report with recommendations for you and your child’s teachers.

All information gathered about your child and your family will be treated with strict confidentiality. Reports will only be released to other professionals/preschool/school with your permission.

Intervention

Intervention is evidence-based, practical and uses your child’s strength to overcome difficulties. We work with your child’s teachers and health professionals, as needed, to support your child. We offer telehealth services.
