Level 1 Psychology Assessment 

Social, Emotional and Regulation Assessment

For your child if: 

• You are a NEW client and need an assessment. 
• Your child is struggling socially, emotionally or is anxious or easily upset.
• You have been told your child needs psychology, speech and language, or occupational support.
• You think your child might be autistic, has ADHD, or you are worried about their progression (e.g. speech or learning).
• Your child already has an assessment and you want an updated assessment of their needs for home and/or school.  

This assessment will give you an indicator on neurodivergence - e.g. the possibility of your child being autistic, ADHD, dyspraxic and more. 

This assessment includes a clinical report, a developmental, social, emotional and regulation profile, plus a support plan for home and school. It does not include a cognitive (IQ) or dyslexia assessment. 

If you are a new assessment client (i.e. you do not have a psychology assessment completed within the last 2 years), you must begin with Level 1.

By completing Level 1, you can progress to Level 2 as appropriate.

Level 2 Team Diagnostic Assessment:

For your child if: 

• You have completed Level 1 and results show a positive indicator of neurodivergence (e.g. Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia, and others)

• You have already completed an initial assessment. Now you want to complete diagnostic team assessment to find out is your child autistic, ADHD, dyspraxic or do they have learning needs.

•  You also want a detailed school and home plan for your child. 

•  You want to apply for supports, grants, a special class or school for your child.

   

This assessment includes a multidisciplinary team diagnostic assessment and report for autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, and a cognitive assessment, plus a support plan for home and school.

You may begin on Level 2 ONLY if you have an existing psychology assessment report available for review that was completed within the last 2 years. 

We aim to complete Level 2 assessments within 3 months of your Level 1 assessment. 

Level 3 Dyslexia Assessment:

For your child if: 

• You have completed Level 1 or 2, and results show a positive indicator of dyslexia (literacy needs), dysgraphia (writing needs) or dyscalculia (maths needs). 

• Your child has reading, writing or maths difficulties - you are wondering are they dyelexic, dyscalcalic or dysgraphic.

•  You want a detailed educational psychology assessment report with learning recommendations. 

This assessment includes an educational psychology assessment and report for dyslexia (literacy needs), dyscalculia (maths needs) and dysgraphia (writing needs), plus a support plan for home and school.

You may begin on Level 3 ONLY if you have an existing psychology assessment report available for review that was completed within the last 2 years.
