Our Services
What to expect from an assessment:
Child Assessment Clinic is neuro-affirming in that we know that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. We are flexible in our approach and work in collaboration with our clients to conduct our assessments in a way that suits them.
Assessments are generally completed in one appointment that may last for as long as 4-6 hours. From each assessment you receive a comprehensive report detailing assessment results, diagnosis (if applicable) and recommendations to support your child. Our reports are often used to support applications for NDIS funding.
Assessments generally include :​
-
An individual assessment with your child
-
Comprehensive clinical interview with parents/caregivers
-
Questionnaires and feedback from school and involved therapists
-
Review of reports regarding your child from involved professionals
-
Feedback from the assessing clinician on the results of the assessment
