Rainbow Care Psychology offers Cognitive/Intelligence assessment packages to reveal a child or teen's cognitive strengths and weaknesses, or to assist with the identification of Giftedness, an Intellectual Disability, Learning Disorders, or a Severe Language Disorder (combined with a speech pathologist assessment).

 

Rainbow Care Psychology uses the most up to date Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Chidren (WISC V) and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI IV).

 

A standard cognitive assessment package will include:

 

* A 50 minute parent interview

 

* Phone consultation with teacher

 

* 2 x 50 minute sit-down assessment sessions with the child/teen.  (to assist with energy and concentration levels, particuarly in young children, this can be done over a two week period. Alternatively, the 2 sessions can all be completed on the same day).

 

* Written report, including a hard copy for home and a copy for the child's school. A soft copy is also available upon request. The report will include detailed results and valuable tips and strategies to assist the child at home and in the classroom.

 

* A 30 minute parent feedback session.

​

Sometimes an Educational Assessment is also needed to assist with identifying learning disabilities such as Dyslexia or to see how the child/adolescent is achieving at school. This will involve an additional WIAT assessment. Enquire within for more information.
