Cognitive Assessment

A Cognitive assessment involves a comprehensive exploration of an individual’s cognitive abilities, for example their ability to reason, their working memory, and their processing speed. Results provide information on the individual’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses which can be used to help support them at school, work, and university and aid in the identification of intellectual disability, giftedness, school readiness and other learning and developmental disorders. 

This assessment includes:  

- At least 2 assessment consultations 

- Questionnaires that can be completed by the patient, their parents and teachers if applicable

- Report writing
