IQ testing and more 

Identifying a young person’s strengths and challenges requires more than just an IQ test.

The holistic nature of our assessments are designed to identify giftedness and any possible learning differences, or issues, and to highlight strengths in your child or adolescent. Your unique characteristics will then be analysed and a formal written report will be completed. IQ testing and achievement testing are available as part of this comprehensive assessment. We have personnel in Sydney, Canberra and Perth who are able to conduct the assessment. We are able to conduct assessments for 4 – 25 year olds.

Assessments can be conducted in person in Sydney, Canberra and Perth. some assessments can be conducted online.

Past client’s testimonials

After procrastinating for a long time about getting something like this done, I bit the bullet and booked my daughter in for an assessment with Helen. The process was clearly explained, easy to understand, logic based and very sound. Helen is calm, clear, friendly, professional, and gets on well with kids. Highly recommend.   Steph 2018

We were looking for someone to understand our son, not to see him as a number or a naughty child but to understand him. Helen did an incredible job assessing and getting to the root of our boys challenges. She has given us answers to questions no other professional even wanted to hear, let alone help us with. We cannot thank her enough for the amazing effort she put in and also for helping us understand our boys needs and given us strategies to help him. Miriam 2018 

Thank you so much for such detailed reports about my son’s abilities and challenges. It will be very useful as we move forward.  Alison 2018
