Below is the standard process for assessments; however, your clinician may need more or less of a certain type of session to ensure they understand your child best. They will always confirm with you what is needed during the process.
Our assessments begin with parent/carer-only sessions to gather developmental information, an understanding of your challenges and goals for assessment, and to ensure that we have the appropriate assessment in mind.
We will also complete a session with the child, during which we use a mix using a mix of interviews, standardised testing, and observations. Depending on the age of your child or how comfortable you may be asked to be in the room for this too.
We use a range of questionnaire (paper or online) to gather information about your child and their strengths and differences, we typically ask one or both parents to do this, and an educator who knows your child best.
After all sessions are complete, we prepare a comprehensive report and offer a feedback session to discuss the findings and recommendations.
