• Our approach

  Sessions at Canberra Child Testing are designed to be relaxed and fun while maintaining professional standards. The assessment process draws on the child's developmental and educational history, clinical information from parents and teachers, test results, and direct observations. Informal results are provided on the day of testing, followed by a detailed written report within 2–3 weeks that includes findings and recommendations. The service takes a comprehensive approach, looking at cognitive ability, academic skills, behavioural and emotional functioning, and attention patterns to build a complete picture of each child's strengths and needs.

• Working with families

  Parents are integral to the assessment process, beginning with detailed information gathered via a clinical assessment form about the child's developmental and educational history. Feedback from parents and teachers is actively sought to inform the assessment and recommendations. The service provides informal results on the day of testing and a detailed written report within 2–3 weeks. Follow-up support is available through flexible telephone and email contact, Monday to Saturday, so families can discuss results and next steps at convenient times.

• Your first visit

  At the initial assessment, the service gathers information about the child's developmental and educational history through a clinical assessment form. Testing is carried out in a relaxed, fun, and professional environment, with the assessor observing the child's responses and behaviours throughout. Parents and teachers are asked to provide feedback to inform the assessment. Informal results are shared with families on the day of testing, giving you early insight into the findings. A detailed written report with full results and recommendations is then provided within 2–3 weeks.
