Educational assessment

We believe in every child’s potential. Our dedicated assessment team provides comprehensive and accurate educational assessments to guide their journey.

What is an assessment?

An educational assessment can help you understand your or your child’s individual strengths and areas of need to help them learn, flourish, and enjoy a positive learning experience, with the goal of fulfilling their full potential.

An assessment can help adults wanting to explore their own academic or cognitive strengths and/or understand why some tasks in the workplace, in the home or when studying can be more challenging – these assessments can be specifically tailored to your individual needs

Does my child need an assessment?

An assessment can provide clear insights, strengths-based recommendations, and practical strategies that honour your child’s uniqueness.

We provide comprehensive assessments of learning difficulties and cognitive skills to accurately identify any underlying problems your child or teen may be experiencing with learning. 

We aim to equip families with the knowledge and tools they need to support their child’s unique journey.

Our neurodiversity-affirming approach is grounded in the belief that assessments should not only identify areas of difficulty but also highlight each child’s unique strengths and capabilities.

Expert child assessments

When it comes to assessing your child’s unique needs, having a dedicated, passionate, and experienced team makes all the difference. Lawson Clinical Psychology assessment team are dedicated, and each bring over a decade of experience to every assessment.

Our team comprises experts in ADHD, autism, specific learning disorders (like dyslexia and dyscalculia), intellectual disabilities, and giftedness. Each clinician is passionate about positively impacting children and their families.

Our commitment to continuous learning means our clinicians regularly attend workshops, seminars, and training sessions to ensure we are up to date with the latest evidence-based practices and tools so we can provide the best care for your child.
