Cognitive Assessment
A cognitive assessment is a standardised evaluation that provides insight into a child’s thinking and learning abilities. It helps to identify their cognitive strengths and challenges, offering valuable information about how they process information, solve problems, and learn new skills.
Cognitive assessments can be useful in understanding a child’s unique learning profile, guiding educational and support strategies. They are often beneficial for children who may be experiencing difficulties with attention, memory, problem-solving, or academic performance. The results can help parents, teachers, and other professionals provide the right support to help a child thrive.
At Saga Psychology, we offer cognitive assessments for children aged 6 to 16. We are committed to providing a timely service and delivering high-quality, comprehensive reports with clear recommendations. Our goal is to ensure families and educators have the insights they need to support each child’s development effectively.
Adaptive Functioning
An adaptive functioning assessment evaluates a person’s ability to manage everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, social interactions, and independent living skills. These assessments provide valuable insight into how an individual copes with daily demands and can help identify areas where additional support may be needed.
Assessing adaptive functioning is particularly useful for understanding a child's or adult’s level of independence and the support they may require at home, school, or in the community. It is often used in diagnosing developmental conditions, guiding intervention planning, and informing support services.
At Saga Psychology, we offer adaptive functioning assessments across all ages. We are committed to providing a timely service and delivering high-quality reports with clear, practical recommendations. Our goal is to equip families, educators, and support systems with the knowledge they need to foster independence and improve quality of life.
