Dependent on your age, we will conduct a WPPSI, WISC-V or WAIS-V assessment to assess key cognitive strengths and challenges.
From here, if results are inconclusive we may recommend an additional Educational Assessment. This will take place in an additional session, only occur if required and with express client/ parental consent.
90-120 minute appointment
Session 3
Your psychologist will review your results and consolidate their findings into a comprehensive report. This is then shared with you 4-6 weeks after your assessment.
