assessments

Autism assessments are generally available for individuals aged 4-years and older via in-person or telehealth. If your child is younger than 4-years-old and you are seeking an autism assessment, you are still welcome to contact me using the form at the bottom of the page.

• An initial 50-60 minute appointment to gather background information;
• A 2-hour appointment to complete either the MIGDAS 2 or ADI-R;
• Online questionnaires will be sent to you and one other person - often the SRS-2 and ABAS-3;
• I may suggest a personality assessment for adults in some cases, or additional measures if ADHD is suspected;
• A comprehensive 10+ page report will be provided;
• A 50-minute feedback session to go through the report. 
• The report and diagnosis can be used to apply for NDIS, or provided to a school for support with an Individualised Learning Plan.

ADHD assessments can be provided in isolation, or alongside an autism assessment for individuals 6-years and older. They are also possible either in-person or via telehealth.

• An initial 50-60 minute appointment to gather background information;
• A 2-hour appointment to complete the DIVA - I may be able to incorporate this into our initial appointment to reduce the cost;
• Conners-4 (for children) or CAARS (for adults) questionnaire sent to you and one other person;
• In some cases a BRIEF-2 questionnaire for assessment of executive functioning in adults;  
• A comprehensive 5+ page report;
• A 50-minute feedback session to go through the report.
• The report and diagnosis can be used to apply for NDIS, or provided to a school for support with an Individualised Learning Plan.

Intellectual assessments are available for individuals aged 6-years to 90-years of age. 

At this stage, I only complete intellectual assessments in-person. If you require an assessment via telehealth, or for a child younger than 6-years using the WPPSI-IV, please contact me using the form at the bottom of the page. Doing so helps me better understand the needs of people in the community and adjust what I can provide going forward. 

• An initial 50-60 minute appointment (if you have a referral from NDIS or a school this may not be necessary);
• A 2-hour appointment to administer the WISC-V or WAIS-IV;
• A written report with brief background information, the results, and a diagnosis if necessary;
• A 50-minute feedback appointment to go through the report.
• The report and diagnosis can be used to apply for NDIS, or provided to a school for support with an Individualised Learning Plan.

Specific learning disorder assessments for individuals aged 6-years to 5o-years are available, and are generally used in conjunction with a WISC-V/WAIS-IV intellectual assessment. 

• An initial 50-60 minute to discuss background information and whether a WISC-V/WAIS-IV assessment is needed;
• A 3-hour appointment to complete the WIAT-III; 
• *An IQ assessment may be needed - this would be an additional 2-hour timeslot to complete the WISC-V or WAIS-IV;
• A comprehensive 15+ page report with the results and diagnosis if needed;
• A 50-minute feedback session.
• This report can be provided to a school for support with an Individualised Learning Plan, or to the organisation that has requested it (with your permission).

Personality assessments may be available for adults in certain circumstances - you are more than welcome to enquire. They are available both in-person and via telehealth.

• A 50-60 minute initial session to discuss your concerns and provide information (e.g., treatment history, other reports by professionals);
• If appropriate to your situation, the PAI will be sent to you online;
• In some cases, a 2-hour timeslot to complete the SCID-5 may be needed;
• A comprehensive written report will be provided to go through the key elements, recommendations, and diagnosis if necessary; 
• A 50-minute feedback session to go through the report and discuss the next steps.
