What are Cognitive and Educational Assessments?

Cognitive and Educational Assessments are standardised tests designed to determine whether you or your child has any issues with mental function relating to memory, attention and problem solving.

neurocare offers standardised tests such as Wechsler WPPSI-IV, WISC-V and WIAT-III which can be used as supporting documentation for NDIS applications, tailoring individualised support plans, educational planning and placement of adolescents and adults in school.

At the conclusion of the cognitive and educational assessment, a written report detailing the results and recommendations is provided during a feedback session with a qualified psychologist.

A Cognitive Assessment will cover:

  • Fluid Reasoning: Ability to see to relationship between visual objects and apply the concept.
  • Working Memory: Ability to hold visual and auditory information in mind while working on other tasks as well as demonstrating attention and concentration.
