Derek Cohen is a psychologist in Perth with 30 years of specialised diagnostic assessment experience in ADHD and ASD for children and adults.
Reviews of this provider are mixed. Two parents report meaningful positive outcomes for their children — including support for autism-related behaviour and ADHD — and describe the psychologist as kind and effective at explaining strategies to families. However, two separate reviewers raise concerns about professional errors and assumptions, with one specifically noting mistakes in a written assessment report that required the client to identify, and another suggesting a focus on repeat business rather than the child's needs.
