Our Services
What We Offer
We offer a full range of psychological and educational assessments for children and young people, tailored to each child's needs.
Comprehensive Assessment
An in-depth, multi-phase assessment for areas such as ADHD and ASD, using DSM-5 criteria and led by named clinicians.
A Child-Friendly Approach
We work at your child's pace in a calm, supportive way, so the assessment feels reassuring rather than stressful.
Reports You Can Rely On
Clear, jargon-free written reports accepted by schools, the HSE, the Department of Education and DARE.
Practical Recommendations
Every report includes clear, practical next steps for home and school, so you know exactly how to support your child.
Ongoing Support
We're here to answer your questions before, during and after the assessment, so you never feel left on your own.
How the assessment process works
Educational Assessments
OPEN - currently taking bookings. This assessment focuses purely on learning, looking at literacy, numeracy and learning ability to identify specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia and dyscalculia. It does not cover emotional, behavioural or social concerns - for those, see the Comprehensive assessment.
Comprehensive Assessments
CLOSED over the summer, reopening for bookings on 1 October. This is our most complete assessment: it includes everything covered in the Educational assessment AND also looks at emotional, behavioural and social profiles. It can lead to diagnoses such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, oppositional defiant disorder and anxiety. (It reopens on 1 October so children are back at school for about a month, allowing teachers to complete the required forms.)
DARE Applications
CLOSED until November. Attainment (literacy/numeracy) testing for DARE applications reopens once the CAO numbers are released in November.
