The Mind Garden
ADHD, Cognitive & Educational Assessment
Do you or your child have difficulties with concentration, following instruction or impulsivity? Do you or your child have reading, numeracy or writing difficulties? Would you like to get assessed for attentional problems, executive functioning difficulties or any specific learning disorders?
We offer comprehensive Cognitive, Behavioural, and Educational assessments for children (from 4 years old and above), young people, and adults to better understand learning, attention, and behavioural challenges using clinical-standard measures and tools. Our assessment sessions are designed to provide a clear picture of your child’s or your own strengths and areas of difficulty, helping guide appropriate supports at home, school, work, or through therapy.
What Does the Assessment Involve?
​
​Our assessments explore key areas of functioning to build a clear and compassionate understanding of each individual. Depending on your needs, the assessment may include the testing of:
