Psychological Assessments

Psychological assessment is an applied science concerned with the behavioural expression of the brain and mind.

How can psychological assessment help?

• Screening to determine whether further assessment with a psychologist, medical doctor, or other allied health professional would be warranted.
• Provide guidance on the direction of patient care, treatment, and support planning. In this instance, testing can provide valuable information about cognitive status, behavioural differences, personality characteristics, and adjustment to disability. This information can inform people responsible for the individuals wellbeing about conditions that affect behaviour.
• Treatment evaluation: to establish a base line measure and demonstrate response to interventions.

At SQPsych we provide testing to describe individual strengths, weaknesses, and symptoms across a wide range of psycho-social-behavioural domains, for example:

• Cognitive (intellectual) abilities.
• Adaptive behaviours.
• Personality functioning.
• Psychopathology.
• Attention and response control.
• Social cognition.
• Memory.
• Autism symptoms.
• ADHD symptoms.
• Mood symptoms.
• Anxiety symptoms.
• Stress symptoms.
• Trauma symptoms.
