Child Assessments

A First Step 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.

Australian Bureau of Statistics

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.
