FSA Psychology Assessments
At FSA Health & Wellbeing, we understand that assessing cognitive abilities and evaluating various aspects of development is crucial for understanding an individual's strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas of improvement. Our comprehensive range of psychometric assessments enables us to provide accurate and insightful evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. With our team of experienced professionals and access to cutting-edge assessment tools, we are committed to delivering high-quality assessments that can inform personalised interventions and support strategies. We are passionate about delivering assessments that are neuroaffirming and believe that challenges that bring people to assessment are rooted in expectations and demands that are placed on a neurodivergent person functioning within a neurotypical (typically developing) society.
We offer the following assessment packages. If you are seeking a comprehensive assessment (a combination of assessment types) please contact us for an individualised quote.

Assessment Process
1
Inquiry & Intake
Following completion of the enquiry form, you will be sent an Intake Assessment Form and Consent Form to complete. We will contact you if we need further information from these forms. Following this, an intake phone call (approximately 1 hour) will be booked. This will allow the clinician to tailor the assessment package to best suit your needs. A collaborative plan will be made with you about undertaking the assessment, and any additional screening forms will be emailed to you for completion.
2
Assessment
Our administrative staff will contact you to book your assessment sessions. This may range from one to four sessions depending on how comprehensive your assessment is. For these sessions, you and/or your child will be required to attend our office and complete the chosen assessment tool/s. Some common assessment tools we use can be found in the section below. At this point your clinician may have additional discussions with your child's school to gather further information.
3
Feedback & Report
Once your assessment sessions are complete, your clinician will interpret the results and book a 1-hour session with you to discuss their findings. This is an opportunity for you to provide feedback and insights into the findings. Following this, your clinician will write a comprehensive report summarising the findings of the assessment, including any diagnoses given, and note tailored recommendations and accommodations. Our administrative staff will call you and advise when the report is ready for collection.
