Assessments
A psychological assessment is used to gather information in order to answer a particular question about an individual, couple, or group’s psychological functioning. It is the nature of this question that will determine the type of assessment undertaken.
Schools may want to know a child’s intellectual ability in order to best support that child’s learning. Cognitive and achievement assessments may be administered in order to inform and make recommendations to the school.
A range of assessment may be required when preparing a NDIS funding application or when preparing for a NDIS Review.
Information gathered may relate to how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. Assessments may include an interview of the individual being assessed, observations, collateral information from others, and formal psychometric measures that are administered, scored and interpreted by appropriately trained psychologists.
