What is a Psychological Evaluation?

Evaluations provide specific information about a child's learning strengths and weaknesses. Our battery of standardised tests will measure the following areas about your child:

Intellectual Potential
Learning patterns/concentration & attention
Ability to process information
Present academic achievement
Behaviour screening

An evaluation will offer a clear picture of how your child is learning and an insight into the necessary steps for improving academic success. The detailed and highly individualised recommendations provide a guide for parents, teachers and other health professionals who may be involved with your child.

How long does the testing take?

There are three stages to the testing process:

Initially our consultant psychologist will meet with the parents to collect background information about your child. This meeting will also be an opportunity for parents to highlight any concerns and/or personal requests they may have in relation to the testing.  Following this the consultant will also want to meet with the child for a brief interview.

The second stage is the testing which takes 3 to 5 hours over 1 or 2 sessions depending on the level of assessment required.

During the final stage, the consultant writes up the report and recommendations. The report is then sent to the parents and a conference is arranged to discuss any queries about the report. This will be either face to face or by telephone depending on the level of assessment.

Which evaluation would best suit the needs of our child?

We offer two types of evaluation which depends on the specific needs of the child and the reasons for referral. After careful discussion with our staff, the decision of the most appropriate evaluation will be made with the parents.

How much does it cost?

The cost ranges between £300.00 & £500.00. This price includes, administering the test, a full written report and a results conference with a full range of recommendations and resources for further action.
