​

• Cognitive Assessments:

When interpreted in combination with comprehensive background information, parent interviews and/or teacher consults, the results can provide a profile which assists with the development of individualised intervention and learning plans.

Such behavioural concerns may include difficulties around hyperactivity, impulsivity, aggression, sustaining attention and/or disruptions to peer relations or learning.

​

• Educational Assessments:
