When a child is experiencing challenges in multiple areas, a comprehensive assessment involving both a Psychologist and Speech Pathologist may be necessary. In such cases, our team of experts can conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the child’s needs and areas of improvement. Based on the child’s unique requirements, the assessment process will involve a combination of appropriate tests and tools drawn from the above assessments (options 1 & 2).  This collaborative approach enables us to provide a more holistic diagnosis and recommendations for intervention that addresses the child’s specific needs.
