Most parents arrive knowing something isn't working. Very few arrive knowing why. An assessment shows how your child learns, what they're good at and what's getting in the way, with a written report you can share with school. Many international schools also ask for one before enrolment.

Reasoning, memory, processing speed, and how your child takes in and holds on to information.
Focus, planning, organisation, starting, finishing, and catching their own mistakes.
Understanding what's said, expressing ideas, and explaining instead of shutting down.
How your child copes with frustration, mistakes, pressure and change.
Reading a situation, joining in, and managing friendships.
What your child does when a task is hard — and what school and home are actually asking of them.
We choose the tools based on what we are trying to answer for your child. Not every child takes every assessment, and we choose tools that suit your child's age.

A free 20-minute callYou tell us what's worrying you. We tell you honestly whether an assessment is the right next step — and if it isn't, what is.No cost, no obligation
Parent session and child observationWe sit down with you to understand your child's history, what home looks like, what school has said and what you've already tried. While we talk, we get to see your child for ourselves: how they play, move, communicate and cope in a new place. We'll also ask permission to speak to their teacher, which is usually the most useful conversation we have.
Sessions with your childTo your child this feels like puzzles, games, drawing and talking. We use standardised assessments alongside structured observation, choosing the tools based on what we're trying to answer. See the assessments we may use.
Feedback session and your written reportWe go through what we found in plain language — strengths first. You leave with a written report you can keep and share with school. We'll also tell you what we didn't find, which is often the reassuring part.60 minutes
What next is your choiceSome families take the plan and go. Some want individual support. Some join a weekend programme. We'll recommend. You decide.
From RM 2,200
3–4 weeks from first call to written report. The full fee is agreed with you before we begin, based on what we're trying to answer.
Cognitive assessment is usually part of it. You'll get the scores — and, more usefully, what the pattern between them means for your child at school. If you only need a cognitive assessment on its own for a school or an application, tell us and we'll quote for that separately.
They'll know they're visiting someone who helps children with learning, and we'll help you word it. In the room it's puzzles, games, drawing and talking. Most children enjoy it. Some ask to come back.
Yes. The recommendations are written for teachers as well as parents, and we can join a school meeting if that would help. Many international schools ask for an assessment as part of enrolment. Requirements differ from school to school, so check with yours what they need and tell us when you book.
No. Many of the children we assess don't have one and never need one.
We'll tell you clearly, in person, without softening it into meaninglessness — and we won't leave you to work out the next step alone.
Tell us your child's age, what you're noticing, and what you'd like help with. We'll tell you honestly which programme fits — including if the answer is none of them.
