Child & adolescent assessment

Psychological assessments are crucial in diagnosis and to develop appropriate treatment plans, but also provide a quantitative method for measuring progress and treatment efficacy. As such, assessments are an important tool to ensure your child’s healthy development.

With over 20 years of experience, Optimistic Counselling specialises in administering clinical assessments in school and hospital settings. We utilise over 30 different psychological testing scales addressing a variety of child and adolescent disorders, including ADHD, Autism, Disruptive Behavior Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Depression, Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, and Bipolar Disorders.

Diagnosing and treating psychological disorders early on can help children grow up safely, letting them explore their full potential while growing up. We have successfully worked with schools in the past to provide necessary support and access to services, to ensure the healthy development of every child.
