About our assessment services

Assessments may include interviews with parents and other stakeholders, observations of you/your child, talking and asking questions, playing and completing specific tasks and/or completing questionnaires about you/your child.

At your first appointment you will meet your clinician to share information and you/ your child’s developmental history and concerns. They will ask whether any previous assessments have been completed and may request copies of reports. Your clinician will let you know about any assessment options, including costs. And you will get the final say aeound what assessments to have completed.
