We offer specific assessments which can be categorised into the following seven categories:
Assessments vary and can include a structured, formal assessment or it can be more flexible to an individual’s needs and responses. There are some situations where an alternative to a formal assessment would be more appropriate, such as an observation, consultation or intervention. Our psychologists are specialists and in discussion with you would choose the most appropriate assessment for the child or young person.

A psychologist also observes the way a child or young person completes the specific assessment in addition to the assessment results. Being able to identify the use of mental strategies, details relating to motor skills and approaches to different questions provides very useful information which will be used to direct any recommendations for the future.
Specific assessments can be used in isolation or alongside other specific assessments to assess a number of conditions. As conditions may require multiple assessments we have created some cost effective packages for a number of conditions. Our clinical, educational and child psychologists can assess a broad range of conditions, including:
We can also work as part of a multidisciplinary team during the diagnostic pathways of attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder (ADD/ADHD), autistic spectrum condition (ASC), language disorders, social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) issues and Dyspraxia.

Before an assessment we would need background information relating to the child or young person, including reports from other professionals. Completing our referral process is simple and necessary for our involvement, as is signed consent. Background information facilitates our holistic approach by enabling us to understand the child or young person in the context of their life. An initial discussion will occur to discuss the need for assessment and which are most appropriate.
At HSR Psychology we ensure that we meet the needs of children and young people. To achieve this we ensure that any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work, is only carried out following an initial discussion.
An initial discussion allows us to understand the background and your expectations of our involvement. Having an initial discussion ensures any services we provide appropriately identify or address needs.
Our process for any specific assessments, intervention, or direct work is as follows:

The specific assessments we carry out vary in their content, and can take place in an education setting, at home or in a community setting depending on your circumstances.
After an assessment we will provide a summary of the results and you will have the option of purchasing a complete report. Following an assessment possible future steps and recommendations could include further assessments, an intervention, putting strategies in place or no further input from our team. Specific assessment results can be used to identify strengths, give a description of need, measure progress or to make recommendations to maximise learning potential.
Our assessments are carried out by our team of psychologists who are experts in education and child development. Individuals between the ages of 0-25 are suitable for an assessment to help to identify their specific needs. To talk to a member of our team or to book an initial discussion, please contact us now.
