As an experienced Ed Psych I combine my knowledge of the psychology of learning with a formal cognitive and learning assessment (The Woodcock-Johnson IV), and your knowledge to create a holistic picture of strengths and challenges with learning. I can then work with home, school or work to help them understand how to best support needs in that setting.

These assessments can help us identify whether someone experiences:

• A specific learning disorder (SLD) such as dyslexia, dysgraphia or dyscalculia.

• Giftedness

• Intellectual Disability (ID)

• In New Zealand we can use this assessment to support applications for Special Assessment Conditions (SAC) at school.

Assessment Includes:

• Intake session (exploring concerns and getting a developmental history)

• Meet and greet with child/young person if needed.

• 3-4 Assessment sessions as needed (we break them up so they’re less overwhelming).

• Gathering information from school/work through interviews and questionnaires. Sometimes I do a classroom observation if needed.

• Additional questionnaires

• Analysis and report writing

• Feedback sessions (one with family, one with school/work).

Cost: $1800 (incl GST)

Additional assessments (if needed):

I may discuss these with you if I notice things that could use further assessment, such as:

• Intellectual Disability

• Executive Functioning (ages 5-18).

• Anxiety / OCD

• Comprehensive exploration of how previous trauma/TBI or other factors may be impacting at school.

• ADHD

• Autism

Cost: Different assessments are needed for each of the above, so costs vary. I will discuss these with you before proceeding.

Ican do additional feedback sessions and/or further support with implementing strategies with yourself, and/or support people at school/work/other household ($180 per 1 hour session).

 Payment: Half at the start, and half after feedback session.

Other split payment options are available, have a chat with Wendy about your needs.
