Look closer.
Understand better.
A clearer view of how a person thinks, learns, feels, develops, behaves and functions. Carefully tailored psychological and neurodevelopmental assessment for children, adolescents and selected adults in the Canberra region.
01 — Assessments
Evidence-based assessment, interpreted in context.
People seek assessment for many reasons: attention difficulties, uneven academic progress, questions about learning or intellectual development, giftedness, school readiness, or more complex concerns.
Assessment draws on validated measures, clinical judgement and information from multiple sources.
Each assessment is tailored to the referral question, your preferences and your goals, with the aim of producing findings that are clinically meaningful and practically useful.
Learning & behaviour
ADHD assessment, ADHD diagnosis, emotion & behaviour problems, executive functioning, dyslexia (reading), dysgraphia (writing), dyscalculia (maths), and Specific Learning Disorders.
Cognition & development
Cognitive profiles, giftedness assessment, school readiness, intellectual development, intellectual disability diagnosis, and NDIS functional capacity evidence.
Other questions
Comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments, early childhood development (ages 4-6), and tailored diagnostic evaluations based on individual needs and goals.
02 — OUR PHILOSOPHY
Why we don’t offer fixed assessment packages.
We understand that fixed packages can feel reassuring because they provide certainty about the process and cost upfront. However, certainty does not always lead to the most useful assessment.
Two people asking about the same diagnosis may have different goals and may need very different information. The most appropriate assessment for one person may not be the most appropriate assessment for another.
Age, development, language, culture, gender, masking or camouflaging, co-occurring difficulties, previous assessment and information already available can all influence which assessment methods are most useful.
Our aim is not simply to answer “yes” or “no” to a diagnosis. We aim to provide a carefully tailored assessment that addresses the questions that matter most to you and gives you a clear, meaningful understanding of the findings.
03 — Our process
Detail-oriented from the first enquiry to the final report.
Our screening process is deliberately thorough. It helps you understand the service, provide relevant background information and establish whether the practice is an appropriate fit before proceeding.
04 — What you receive
A considered interpretation and practical way forward.
Integrated findings
Results are considered together rather than reported as isolated test scores.
Feedback
A dedicated appointment to explain the findings and answer questions.

05 — Children & adolescents
Harnessing psychological assessment to help young people grow.
While we do provide Adult assessments, children and adolescents are the practice’s primary focus. Assessment considers the young person’s developmental history, abilities, day-to-day functioning and the different demands they face across home, school and community settings.
Parents and caregivers are supported to understand not only where difficulties occur, but also the strengths and conditions that may help the young person function at their best.
