Cognitive
assessments

For children and adults

In Wimbledon, Epsom, Crouch End

A cognitive assessment can be a useful addition when assessing for Autism or ADHD.

We use the WISC-V for children and the WAIS-V for adults

Cognitive assessments are only offered as an add on to Autism or ADHD assessments.

They are often useful when:

We want to unpick a “spikey” profile in more depth - this is when a person is extremely competent in some areas, and really struggles in others.

We suspect something other than ADHD or Autism might be present.

A learning difficulty is suspected in addition to Autism or ADHD.

We want a cognitive profile to understand what core cognitive differences are, and what is linked to mental health, which can impact cognition.

Provide you with an overall IQ score

Assess your or your child’s

Provide guidance on how best to support you in the work environment, or your child’s learning

If you are having an Autism or ADHD assessment, you can either request a cognitive assessment to be added, or we may recommend one.

We add an extra appointment, in person, where you will go through a series of set tasks and activities.

We score the results, creating a cognitive profile of your relative strengths and weaknesses, and write up a report.

We will integrate these results with how we expect Autism and ADHD to present, and add it in as part of the assessment.

We make recommendations based on your cognitive profile, which can be especially useful for work or school.

Cognitive assessment: £600

This is in addition to the fee for an ADHD or Autism assessment.
