ASSESSMENTS FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
Let us help your child to achieve their potential.
​
At Adelaide Clinical Psychology we take a wholistic approach to psychological and educational assessment, using proven and reliable tests supplemented with relevant medical history and background information from parents and teachers.
Your child's wellbeing is paramount, always. We understand the importance of placing your child at ease during testing to enable them to complete the tests to the best of their ability without becoming distressed or upset. Our psychologists take a warm, friendly, relaxed and supportive approach to testing and actively engage with your child throughout the testing process. All testing is administered in a peaceful, comfortable and quiet environment free of noise and distractions.
Our psychologists have expertise in the tests administered to your child and are able to recognise learning difficulties and behaviour during testing that may indicate underlying conditions or a neurological disorder, such as:
​​
-
Learning disorders
-
ADD Assessments (attention deficit disorder)
-
ADHD Assessments (attention deficit hyperactive disorder)
-
ASD Assessments (Autism spectrum disorder)
-
Dyslexia.
