Psycho-educational Assessment

Psycho-educational (also referred to as psychometric or cognitive & achievement) assessment are used for the diagnosis of learning disorders, intellectual disability and giftedness in children, adolescents and adults.

This may also form part of a broader assessment in some cases.

This typically involves two 2 hour assessment sessions. Parents are provided a report detailing the findings of the assessment.

We utilise the “gold standard” Wechsler assessments including:

• The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Fourth Edition, Australian and New Zealand Standardised Edition (WPPSI-IV A&NZ) for children aged between 2 years 6 months and 7 years 7 months;
• the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition, Australian and New Zealand Standardised Edition (WISC-V A&NZ) for children aged between 6 years to 16 years 11 months;
• the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition, Australian and New Zealand Language Adapted Edition (WAIS-IV A&NZ Language Adapted Edition) for adolescents and adults aged 16 years and up;
• and the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test, Australian and New Zealand Standardised, Third Edition (WIAT-III A&NZ) for children, adolescents and adults aged from 4 years and up.
