Assessments that bring clarity
Understanding how a child learns, thinks, and experiences the world,
to guide meaningful support.
ASSESSMENTS AT FLOREOEvery child is different.
Every assessment should be too.
No two children present the same way. Assessments at Floreo Child & Family Psychology aim to provide thoughtful, practical understanding of a child’s strengths and areas of difficulty, taking the whole picture into account.
Whether concerns relate to learning, attention, development, or emotional wellbeing, assessment provides a clearer picture and a more confident path forward.
Assessments are conducted in Camberwell for children and families across Melbourne.
What we can explore together
AREAS OF ASSESSMENTLearning Assessments
Exploring reading, spelling, and mathematics skills where there are concerns about learning progress, academic confidence, or uneven achievement.
Attention and Executive Function Assessments
Supporting understanding of attention, concentration, organisation, impulsivity, and broader executive functioning difficulties, including where ADHD may be queried.
Assessment for Giftedness or Learning Differences
Helping families better understand children who may present with advanced abilities sometimes alongside areas of challenge or vulnerability.
Developmental and Social Engagement Assessments
Exploring broader developmental, emotional, social, and communication profiles, including where autism spectrum differences may be queried or better understanding of social communication is being sought.
Cognitive Assessments
Providing a broader understanding of a child’s thinking and learning profile, including reasoning, working memory, processing speed, and problem-solving abilities.
School Readiness and Developmental Understanding
Exploring developmental, emotional, behavioural, and social functioning to help guide support at home and school.
Emotional, Behavioural and Social Assessments
Understanding factors contributing to emotional regulation difficulties, anxiety, social challenges, or behavioural concerns.
Families often seek an assessment when something feels unclear
There is rarely one definitive moment. More often, it is a quiet accumulation of questions — a sense that something is being missed, or that understanding more deeply would help.
WHEN AN ASSESSMENT MAY HELPLearning feels unexpectedly difficult
Effort and outcomes do not seem to match
A child appears bright but struggles in particular areas
Attention or organisation are concerns
School feedback suggests further understanding may be helpful
