Cognitive assessments are available for children, adolescents and adults. The assessment process examines a range of cognitive abilities to develop a comprehensive understanding of how a person processes and responds to different types of information.

Areas that may be explored include verbal reasoning, visual-spatial reasoning, working memory, processing speed, attention and other aspects of cognitive functioning. Together, these provide a detailed picture of an individual’s cognitive profile and the ways they engage with learning, thinking and problem solving.

A cognitive assessment may be recommended to better understand learning differences, intellectual functioning, cognitive processing or developmental presentations. It can also contribute to the identification of intellectual disability, giftedness and other cognitive differences where appropriate.

Following the assessment, a comprehensive written report is provided. The report explains the assessment findings in clear, accessible language and includes individualised recommendations to support participation, learning and access to appropriate accommodations or services where relevant.
