ASSESSMENTS
Gain clarity with expert neuropsychological and cognitive testing.
Children & Teens
a report that is tailored to your child and provides practical steps to help them thrive.
We believe an assessment report should do more than explain test results. Our reports provide a clear, personalised understanding of your child, describing how they think, learn and engage with the world. Written in plain language and grounded in a neuro-affirming framework, they combine meaningful insights with practical recommendations that can be used at home and school. The result is a report that is easy to understand, easy to share, and designed to support real-world outcomes for your child.
What to expect, step by step
1. A friendly phone call
Start with a no-pressure chat. Tell us what you've noticed and what you're hoping to understand, and we'll explain how assessments work and whether we're the right fit. You'll know exactly what's involved before you book anything.
2. Meeting with you
We sit down with you first to hear your child's story: their history, your concerns, what's going well and what feels hard. You know your child best, so this shapes everything that follows.
3. Getting to know your child
Before any formal testing, we take time to build trust. Our warm, art-filled studio is designed to help children feel relaxed and curious, so we see the real them, not a nervous version.
4. Seeing the full picture
Your child is more than their test results. We bring together what we learn from your child, your family and their school life, so the whole picture is covered, including their strengths, interests and the way they experience the world.
5. A report that's truly theirs
Your report is written about your child, in plain language, with practical strategies for home and school. It describes who they are, not just what they scored.
6. Your debrief
We walk you through the findings in person, answer your questions and help you decide on next steps. You leave knowing what the report means and what to do with it.

Our welcoming clinic and art studio is located at 18 Blandford Street, The Grange, on the north side of Brisbane. Free parking is available behind the clinic or on the street.
Do parents stay during the session?
For individual assessments and psychology sessions, parent involvement depends on the child's age and specific needs. For our group programs, we encourage parents to drop and go, as participants often feel more comfortable sharing openly with their peers when parents aren't in the room. However, you are always welcome to wait in our comfortable waiting area.
Do I need to book?
Yes, bookings are essential for all assessments, individual therapy sessions, and group programs.
