IQ test/Cognitive Screener
Basic psychometric assessment to investigate some areas of cognition including verbal information processing and processing speed amongst others. When appropriate, it is possible to obtain an overall measure of IQ.
Profiling of symptoms via interviews and questionnaires: This can be a helpful way for Paediatricians, schools and families to gather information about a child’s strengths and weaknesses as well as symptoms and their severity in different settings. It can contribute to the diagnostic process for ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), SLD (specific learning disorder) and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) as well as other mood and behaviour profiles. Please note these questionnaires are not diagnostic but can help a Paediatrician or other professional in their decision-making process.

Psychological Support - Parenting – COMING SOON
Jessica believes in the incredible power of parenting and the important role that parents play in children’s lives. Parenting is a part of life that can be incredibly difficult at times but also extremely rewarding.
Parents and families sometimes benefit from psychological care themselves. Therapy can be provided for parents with a wide range of concerns. The therapeutic approach is most in keeping with content from Tuning In To Kids programs and emotion coaching techniques, together with incorporating positive behaviour support approaches that you can use at home.
Parents are able to claim Medicare rebates for therapy sessions as long as they are referred under their own GP Mental Health Treatment Plan.
