  • Our approach

    Child Assessment Clinic takes a neuro-affirming approach, recognising that there is no one-size-fits-all method. The clinic is flexible and works collaboratively with clients to conduct assessments in a way that suits them. Sessions are designed to be positive experiences where children feel supported. Assessments usually take place over 4-6 hours in one day and include a standardised assessment with the child, a comprehensive clinical interview with parents or carers, and a review of paperwork from school or daycare. At the end, families receive feedback, specific recommendations and a comprehensive report suitable for NDIS and school applications.

  • Working with families

    Parents and carers are central to the assessment process. The clinic conducts a comprehensive clinical interview with parents or carers as part of the assessment day. Before the assessment, the clinic invites families to complete an intake form and offers a free phone consultation to discuss your needs and concerns. The clinic is flexible with communication and happy to accommodate your preferred method if phone calls are not suitable. Families receive detailed feedback and recommendations following the assessment, along with a comprehensive report.
