With experienced child psychologists, Strategic Psychology provides comprehensive IQ and cognitive assessments for both children and adolescents. Our assessments can identify potential learning difficulties, such as reading, language, or attention challenges. Our goal is to provide accurate and insightful assessments to support individuals to understand their cognitive abilities and pave the way for targeted interventions and personalised support. At Strategic Psychology, our psychologists employ an empathetic and strengths-based approach when working with children, focusing on their unique abilities and supporting their emotional well-being throughout the assessment process.
We wanted to show you how child and adolescent assessments work at Strategic Psychology. The below graphic summarises the process from start to finish (You could also download the visual as a PDF file.) Strategic Psychology also offers child and adolescent counselling for any required ongoing support and therapy post-assessment.
Available assessments include:
- Child and Adolescent IQ testing
- Adult IQ testing
- Child and Adult behaviour rating scales
- Development of educational profiles and plans
- Educational needs assessment and individualised learner profiles
- Note: Clients must be verbal and have English as their first language to complete an assessment.
- At present, we are not able to provide assessments for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Please note: IQ Assessments cannot be funded through Medicare however can at times be funded through NDIS if the client is already a participant in the NDIS. The results from the IQ assessment can be used by clients to apply for NDIS support or educational support within school settings.
