At Blokes Psychology, we understand that every person—child, adolescent or adult—has their own learning style, strengths, and challenges.
A psychoeducational assessment is a powerful tool for uncovering how an individual thinks, processes information, and interacts with the world. Whether you're a parent seeking clarity for your child, or an adult needing answers, our comprehensive psychoeducational assessments provide tailored insights and practical next steps.
A psychoeducational assessment evaluates a person’s cognitive abilities, academic performance, emotional well-being, and behavioural patterns. It's often used to explore issues such as learning difficulties, attention challenges, or developmental delays—but it can also highlight strengths and untapped potential.
We work with both children and adults seeking psychoeducational assessment support in Melbourne. Each assessment is customised to suit the individual's needs.
Our process is designed to be supportive, informative, and thorough:
We begin with an in-depth conversation to understand your background, concerns, and your child's developmental history.
Standardised psychoeducational assessment tools are used to explore areas such as memory, problem-solving, language skills, and processing speed (typically takes 90 minutes).
Depending on age and need, we assess academic areas such as reading, writing, and mathematics.
You'll receive a comprehensive psychoeducational assessment report including results, interpretation, and personalised recommendations.
We take the time to walk you through the results and answer any questions you may have.
