The most sought after assessments are for children and adolescents in the form of educational (or sometimes called learning or cognitive) assessments. These assessments measure a child’s overall IQ, as well as current achievement levels. Such assessments can help with diagnosing possible learning difficulties or disabilities, including:

dyslexia,
dyscalculia
global developmental delay
intellectual disability
behavioural issues (ADHD, conduct disorder, underlying anxieties or depression etc)

They are also often extremely beneficial in providing further information for children already diagnosed with ASD.

The Comprehensive learning and behavioural assessment includes the formal IQ and achievement assessment, combined with a behavioural assessment, with a full and comprehensive report. This is the most popular and also recommended assessment for school-aged children, as it gives the best overall picture of a child’s current level of functioning.

Please note, assessment for the possible diagnosis of dyslexia require the Comprehensive assessment to be completed.

The Standard learning assessment includes the formal IQ and achievement assessment with a full and comprehensive report, without the behavioural assessment.

Assessments for adults can include formal diagnosis for things such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and others.
