Assessments
- Scholastic Assessments
- Dementia Screening
- Curatorship
- Traumatic brain Injury
- Neuropsychological assessment for job evaluation and safety e.g. Cabin Crew and Pilots.
Scholastic Assessments
This involves comprehensive evaluation techniques to understand a child’s:
- Academic abilities
- Learning style
- Cognitive strengths and areas of difficulty including but not limited to ADD, Concessions, ADHD and Spectrum Disorders.
Assessments typically include standardized tests of:
- Intelligence
- Academic achievement
- Memory
- Attention, concentration and processing speed.
The goal is to identify learning strengths and challenges, inform educational planning (concessions), appropriate school placement and develop targeted interventions to support academic success.
Referral required from Teacher, General Practitioner or Pediatrician.
Dementia Screening
Dementia screening involves assessing cognitive function to detect early signs of cognitive decline associated with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Screening tools may include brief cognitive assessments, questionnaires and informant interviews to evaluate memory, orientation, language, executive function and visuospatial skills.
These assessments help individuals at risk of dementia, differentiate normal aging from pathological decline and inform referral to further diagnostic evaluation.
Early detection enables timely intervention, including medical management, cognitive rehabilitation, and psychosocial support, to optimize quality of life and functional independence for individuals and their families.
