Assessment Clinic
What is Assessment Clinic?
Assessment clinic is sessions put aside for clients who are looking for one off assessments. This might be for the purpose of seeking funding, for clarifying the areas of difficulty or because it has been recommended to them.
What happens in Assessment Clinic?
We have a number of assessment packages available for assessing some of the more common areas of difficulty. The amount of time and cost varies, depending on the assessment time. All costs are based on both the face-to-face time required as well as the report writing time required.
Are there potential additional costs?
If clients arrive late to the scheduled sessions, the clinician may not be able to complete all planned assessments. As our clinicians have a tight schedule, we are unable to continue past the scheduled appointment block and the client would be liable to pay the additional cost of further assessment sessions in this case.
On some occasions, there can be difficulties with engagement or compliance with the assessment processes resulting in an inability to complete all planned tasks. This may result in the clinician providing the option of forgoing the additional assessments and the recommendations being made based on the available/completed assessments or coming back to complete the additional assessments for an additional fee. The clinician would be able to provide recommendations around this at the time.
Will I be provided with a report?
All assessments include a written report within the cost structure

Literacy is a complex area that can be impacted by a number of different areas. Due to this, All Abilities offer literacy assessments based on individual child needs. We recommend attending a one hour initial consultation in the clinic which would involve a collection of case history, collection of samples of writing from school and some informal reading and writing tasks. From there, the clinician will be able to provide recommendations regarding further areas to assess. It is always advisable to ensure you have a recent eye test completed before undergoing any literacy related assessments to ensure that there are no physical elementsimpacting on the child’s progress.
