Psychological Assessments
Comprehensive assessments for ADHD, autism, cognitive ability, and learning difficulties.
A psychological assessment can be a turning point. Whether you're seeking clarity for yourself, your child, or a referral pathway — having a clearer picture of how someone thinks, learns, and processes the world can make a real difference. At school, at work, in relationships, and in understanding yourself.
Assessments at Mindflow are thorough, individualised, and written in a way that's actually useful — not just filed away.
Not sure which assessment you need?
Getting a psychological assessment is a significant step — and it can be hard to know where to start. If you're not sure which assessment is right for you or your child, I'm happy to help you figure that out before you commit to anything.
What I Assess
ADHD A comprehensive evaluation of attention, executive functioning, impulsivity, and related difficulties. Includes clinical interview, standardised rating scales (Conners), cognitive and behavioural measures, and collateral information where relevant. Suitable for children, adolescents, and adults — including adults who suspect ADHD has always been part of their picture but were never assessed.
Autism (ADOS-2) Using the ADOS-2 — the gold-standard observational measure for autism — alongside clinical interview and developmental history. I take a neuroaffirming approach: the goal is understanding, not deficit-spotting. Suitable for children, adolescents, and adults.
Cognitive Assessments Evaluation of memory, reasoning, processing speed, and overall cognitive ability — using the WISC-V (children) or WAIS (adults). Useful for understanding learning profiles, giftedness, intellectual disability, or baseline cognitive functioning.
Educational & Learning Assessments Assessment of reading, writing, spelling, and mathematics, to identify specific learning disorders such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia. Reports are suitable for school accommodations, university access plans, and workplace adjustments.
What's Included
Every assessment includes:
- A clinical interview (and parent/caregiver interview where relevant)
- Standardised testing across multiple sessions
- A detailed written report suitable for school, NDIS, Medicare, or workplace purposes
- A feedback session to walk through findings and recommendations
- Follow-up correspondence where needed
How long does it take?
Most assessments involve 3–5 sessions across several weeks, plus report writing time. I'll give you a clear timeline at your initial consultation.
Fees
Assessment fees range from $1,450 to $2,200 depending on the type and complexity of assessment. Exact costs are confirmed after an initial consultation.
Medicare rebates may apply to some assessment sessions with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. NDIS funding (self- or plan-managed) can be used for assessments.
Referrals
I accept self-referrals and GP referrals. A GP referral is not required to book, but is needed to access Medicare rebates.
