• Our approach

  Knott Psychology specialises in psychological assessment and therapy for children and adolescents with a focus on neurodiversity. The practice provides comprehensive assessments including autism and cognitive evaluations, along with ongoing therapy sessions tailored to individual needs. Sessions are available at two physical locations in Perth or via telehealth, with flexible service options designed to meet each family's circumstances. The approach draws on clinical expertise in autism spectrum disorder, ADHD and intellectual disabilities, with recommendations and guidance provided based on assessment findings and observation. Therapy sessions offer ongoing support while assessments equip families with understanding of their child's unique profile to inform treatment and support strategies.

• Working with families

  Knott Psychology emphasizes collaboration with families throughout the assessment and therapy process. Parent involvement is central to comprehensive assessments, with parent diagnostic interviews forming a key component of services such as autism evaluation. The practice liaisons with other professionals and gathers information from multiple sources to build a complete picture of the child's needs. Feedback sessions following assessment ensure families understand results and receive clear recommendations and guidance for supporting their child. The practice welcomes enquiries via email and responds to all communications within three business days, maintaining accessible communication with families to discuss concerns and address questions about services and rebates.

• Your first visit

  At the first appointment, families can expect a comprehensive initial assessment that includes clinical interview, child observation, and psychometric tools specific to the concerns discussed. The appointment format varies depending on the service chosen—for example, autism assessments include a parent diagnostic interview, direct child observation, collaboration of information from other professionals, and a feedback session to discuss findings. For a one-off consultation session, parents will receive recommendations and guidance based on assessment results, with brief referral letters provided for specialists if required. The practice gathers detailed information to understand the child's difficulties and determine the most appropriate pathway for diagnosis and support. All findings are documented in a diagnostic report that guides next steps for the family.
