During an assessment, the psychologist will investigate background information and review any concerns the individual or carer of the child may have. Next the Psychologist will begin testing, working 1-1 with the child or student,initially to establish a general Ability Profile (IQ) and then to investigate, in detail different aspects of learning, using a wide range of tests. Observation is also an important part of this procedure. When this has been completed, the psychologist will talk further with the individual or carer of a child about the findings. This whole process will usually take between two and three hours. This will then be followed up by a detailed written report including conclusions and recommendations.
