TESTS

The assessment process is lengthy and involves interviews, completing checklists and the assessment administration itself. Sometimes contact with your child’s day care, pre/school, college is an important part of this process, and this can also contribute to the time taken in this process. All of this will be discussed with you during the initial appointment, and you will be kept updated throughout the process.
