Our multi-disciplinary approach includes cognitive, speech, and sensory evaluations, alongside post-diagnostic support for families. Services are tailored to address social communication challenges and developmental trauma.

Our educational assessments identify specific learning difficulties, including dyslexia and giftedness, with fast turnaround times. We offer exam access arrangements and cognitive evaluations for children and adults, ensuring accurate diagnosis and actionable recommendations for schools and workplaces.

Report
Possibly the most painstaking process to go through only made worse by constant inaccuracies, delays and lack of responses from the organisation. No sense of care for individual patients, just a name on a list.
