A strength based assessment involves finding a child or young person’s strengths, rather than their difficulties.
Strength based assessments are suitable for all as they assess a broad range of areas in all ages up to age 25.

The benefits of a strength based assessment include:
Understanding a child or young person’s strengths, and using those strengths maximises children and young people’s potential.
A strength based assessment can be carried out following an initial discussion, please see our process below.
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:
A strength based assessment varies according to the areas being assessed. An assessment may include observations, conversations, questionnaires, puzzles or activities. The specifics of the assessment taking place will be discussed during the initial discussion.
All of our assessments can be used for a strength based assessment as we would be able to identify a child or young person’s areas of strength.
Strength based assessments can also be quite informal and take place through discussions with the individual. Following an initial discussion we would be able to provide more detailed information using the information we know about the individual.
After a strengths based assessment we will have a comprehensive idea of a child or young person’s strengths, which means we can make personalised recommendations. Using strengths to support challenges will help children and young people to be happy, safe and ready for life’s challenges.
A strength based assessment comes with a choice of reports, depending on needs and requirements. As a strength based assessment may include a variety of assessments, a report can be used as a summary in addition to recommendations for the future. Read more about the report options we offer.
A strength based assessment does not come with an average price as it could include a single assessment or multiple. A price can be provided following an initial discussion. Knowing an individual’s strengths provides a starting point for interventions and support strategies for a broad range of needs they may have.
Arrange an initial discussion to find out how we can benefit your education setting. The initial discussion lasts 2 hours and is a starting point to identify needs. The cost is £260.
