We offer a range of assessments that provide valuable insights into the functioning of your child or yourself.
What are cognitive assessments?
Cognitive assessments, often referred to as IQ tests, are standardised evaluations that measure various cognitive abilities such as understanding of language, spatial reasoning, problem-solving skills, memory, and processing speed. These assessments not only give an overall indication of intelligence but also reveal strengths and areas that may need improvement.
Cognitive assessments are valuable for diagnosing conditions like ADHD, Intellectual Disability, or Learning Disabilities. They also help establish a baseline for cognitive functioning, track changes over time, assist in planning treatments, and provide guidance for academic or vocational accommodations.
What are academic assessments?
Academic assessments evaluate a person’s knowledge, skills, and abilities in different academic areas, including language, reading, writing, and maths. They compare an individual’s performance to their peers and can also be compared to their own intellectual capacity.
These assessments are essential for identifying learning difficulties such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, or Dyscalculia, guiding educational plans, measuring the effectiveness of interventions, and providing valuable insights for educational and career planning. Additionally, a cognitive assessment may be recommended to enhance the understanding of academic assessment results.
