Assessments

Every brain works differently. Assessments at Graham Psychology enable you to understand how yours works. We intentionally apply a neuro-affirming approach to all of our assessments, identifying your strengths and differences using best-practice assessments and tools to summarise how your brain functions.

Available for children, adolescents and adults.

What to expect

Seeking an assessment can cause apprehension, we aim to settle those nerves by having a clear outline as to how you can expect the process to go.

Depending on the assessment you or your child are booked for, the structure and length of appointment will vary slightly. Please view the individual assessment page for more specific information on timings.

  • Your intake appointment will involve a conversational interview asking you questions about your developmental history, strengths and challenges and what has prompted you to seek an assessment.

    For child & adolescent intakes, this will take place with their parent/ guardian.

  • We use a variety of evidence-based assessment tools to help identify your strengths and differences. These differ depending on the assessment booked and age of client.

    For combined assessments, they will be conducted over multiple sessions.

  • We allocate our psychologists a 4 week period to review the assessments results and consolidate their findings into a report.

    Our reports are recognised by peak education and funding bodies including VCAA, Department of Education and NDIS.

  • Booked 4-6 weeks after your assessment session, the Feedback session is an opportunity for the psychologist to share their findings, discuss their recommendations for ongoing support and allow the client to ask any clarifying questions.

    Full payment plan must be settled prior to Feedback session.
