Understanding your child is the key to setting them up for success.
My assessments are comprehensive because your child's story has depth. The same struggles, whether with focus, friendships, or emotional regulation, can stem from entirely different sources.
That's why I assess the whole child, not just symptoms. Understanding what's truly driving your child's experiences is how we identify the right diagnosis and create strategies that fit your child.
Children 6–12 and young people 13–25 experiencing challenges like these:
A comprehensive picture across six key areas of development
Every assessment includes comprehensive neuropsychological testing, clinical and developmental interviews with your child and family, teacher questionnaires, review of medical history and school reports, assessment for co-occurring conditions, and a results feedback session.
You will receive a detailed diagnostic report, personalised recommendations, a school support letter, and an NDIS support letter if applicable.
When autism is being queried, the assessment is extended to include autism-specific neuropsychological testing, validated questionnaires, sensory differences and social communication exploration, and comprehensive differential diagnosis considering co-occurring conditions. The total for a combined assessment is $3,400.

A comprehensive assessment typically involves 6–8 hours of direct testing, spread across multiple sessions to prevent fatigue. The entire process, from initial consultation to receiving your report, usually takes 4–6 weeks.
No special preparation is needed. Just ensure your child is well-rested and has eaten before sessions. We'll handle everything else, including breaks and accommodations as needed.
This is completely normal and expected. I specialise in working with anxious children and will take time to build rapport, explain everything clearly, and can modify the environment to help your child feel comfortable.
Parents typically aren't present during testing to ensure accurate results, but you're always nearby. For very anxious children, we can arrange modified approaches that might include gradual separation or other accommodations.
Book your initial consultation to discuss your child's needs and how a comprehensive assessment can help.
