Child Assessment Services in Adelaide
Step One Towards the Right Support and Care.
Personalised assessments to guide therapy, funding, and your next steps.
What Are Child Assessments?
Child assessments are specialised tools that help identify developmental, behavioural, cognitive, or emotional needs. They are often the first step in accessing the right therapy or NDIS supports.
We offer:
- Autism Assessment for Children (Dual assessments with Psychologist & Allied Health)
- ADHD Diagnosis for Kids
- Cognitive & IQ Testing
- Combined Autism & ADHD Evaluations
These assessments are conducted by qualified paediatric psychologists and therapists using evidence-based methods tailored to children and young people.
Did You Know?
Children aged 5 to 14 years have the highest rates of autism diagnosis in Australia.
Early identification and support can lead to better long-term outcomes in education, behaviour, and independence.
How Child Assessment Services in Adelaide Can Help
Families often notice delays or difficulties in communication, behaviour, attention, or learning, but don’t know where to begin. Without assessment, children may miss out on timely intervention or critical supports through NDIS, school, or therapy. This can affect confidence, relationships, and development. Our Child Assessment Services in Adelaide provide clarity. We help you understand your child’s needs and recommend a plan forward—whether that means therapy, classroom strategies, or NDIS support.
Who We Support
We provide assessments for children and young people who may:
- Show signs of Autism or ADHD
- Show signs of Dyslexia, Dyspraxia or other Learning disabilities.
- Have challenges with learning, behaviour, or emotional regulation
- Require documentation for NDIS or school supports
- Need clarity for therapy or intervention planning
- Show strengths and areas that need formal identification
Together, we’ll help your child thrive with the right support at the right time.
