Understand Cognitive Strengths and Support Needs
A cognitive assessment is a structured evaluation that measures key areas of thinking, such as memory, attention, problem-solving, processing speed, and verbal reasoning.
These assessments provide valuable insights into learning strengths and challenges, helping to:
-
Understand school or workplace difficulties
-
Explore concerns about ADHD or intellectual disability
-
Identify giftedness and advanced learning needs
-
Guide educational, workplace, and therapeutic support planning
At Freedom Therapy Services, we provide comprehensive cognitive assessments for children and adults, conducted by an experienced NDIS-registered psychologist in a warm and supportive environment.
Why Choose a Cognitive Assessment?
A cognitive assessment can help answer important questions about learning and thinking abilities, and provide a clear foundation for targeted support.
We use gold-standard assessment tools and combine test results with background information to give you a complete picture of cognitive strengths and areas for growth.
