Psychologists generally start their approach by completing an assessment and understanding the needs of the client.

Assessment may be for a variety of purpose including:

• Formal diagnosis (e.g. Autism, Intellectual disability)
• Identifying Functional Capacity
• Academic progress
• Mental Health
• Specialised assessment

The psychologist may assess clients with disabilities to progress in these areas:-

• Learning, thinking and problem-solving
• Play skills (for child clients)
• Social skills and training
• Emotional literacy and regulation skills
• Behavioural challenges or behaviour modifications
• Communication techniques
• Skills for independences
• General Wellbeings

The aim of our assessment process is to formulate an understanding of the presenting issues that will guide the best course of intervention.
