ASSESSMENTS AT OUR CENTRE
Understanding a child’s developmental profile helps us provide the most appropriate support and learning environment.
We offer two types of assessments, depending on the level of insight required.
STEP 2: DEEPER DEVELOPMENTAL EVALUATION (IF REQUIRED)
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS
(Conducted by a registered Clinical Psychologist)
​
In some cases, families may benefit from a more comprehensive and standardized evaluation to better understand a child’s developmental profile. This may be helpful when parents are seeking diagnostic clarification, schools require formal reports, or deeper understanding of a child’s cognitive and developmental profile is needed.
