Child assessment

Child Assessment & Psychologists Sydney


Welcome to our Child Assessment section. At the Comprehensive Psychological Assessment Centre (CPAC) we offer safe and friendly environments to assess children's intellectual, academic, developmental and behavioural/emotional functioning. We provide academic testing to evaluate school readiness, the presence of learning difficulties or disabilities (e.g., Dyslexia) and to find out children's general intellectual abilities (IQ) and academic strengths and weaknesses. We conduct diagnostic assessments to identify children with various emotional, behavioural and developmental disorders, such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, developmental delay and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).  

These services are provided by a small team of experienced clinical and developmental psychologists with extensive knowledge working with children and families. The centre's psychologists are committed to ongoing training and education and we can give parents the most up to date advice about their children. We regularly conduct diagnostic assessments and prepare reports for different purposes, including information for parents, schools, pediatricians and the Children's Court. 

On the following pages we collected a wealth of information about the different areas of children's functioning that we can assess. We also included a general section about the testing process. Although these pages provide answers for most questions parents regularly ask, we welcome your enquiries and we are always happy to discuss specific concerns.
