Neurodevelopmental and educational assessments, counselling and support for children, adolescents and adults.

We are a private educational and developmental psychology clinic with extensive experience and expertise in educational and neurodevelopmental assessment with children, adolescents and adults. Our clinic has been specifically designed to meet the needs of individuals experiencing learning difficulties. We respect and value neurodiversity and believe that best outcomes are achieved when the environment understands and accommodates individual strengths and challenges. This is why our approach is to work collaboratively with individuals, families, schools, tertiary institutions and workplaces in order to recommend targeted strategies and practical accommodations and support. We see clients for:
*Cognitive and educational assessments
*Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Learning Disorder assessments
*Preschool, child, adolescent and adult assessments to explore learning concerns
*Executive functioning difficulties
*Parenting, school and workplace support
*Assessment to determine school and workplace special provisions and adjustments

Did you know? Special Provisions are designed to ensure fair VCE assessment for students with specific learning and neurodevelopmental differences.

For Year 12 students with conditions like Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia, VCAA Special Provisions are a vital tool. They provide necessary adjustments—like rest breaks, a reader, or extra time—to make sure a student's score reflects their knowledge, not their condition.

Special provisions applications require paperwork that clearly documents the diagnosis AND explains how the condition affects performance in exams.

The time to finalise and submit all updated specialist paperwork is Early Term 1. Getting reports organised now ensures your school has sufficient time to complete the formal application process before the VCAA deadline. We are ready to assist you in navigating this process and answer any questions you may have.

✅ Fact: Autism can be assessed at any age—many adults seek answers later in life.

✅ Fact: You can book directly with us—no referral required.

🛑 Myth: "An assessment is just a label."
