At Positive Mind Hub, we offer comprehensive Cognitive Assessments in Melbourne for children, adolescents, and young adults. Our assessments are designed to help individuals, families, and educators better understand cognitive strengths and challenges, guiding informed decisions about learning, development, and support needs.

A cognitive assessment is a structured evaluation of an individual’s thinking abilities, including memory, attention, problem-solving, reasoning, language, and processing speed. These assessments are especially helpful for identifying learning difficulties, developmental delays, giftedness, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, and academic challenges. At Positive Mind Hub, our skilled psychologists use evidence-based tools, such as the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V) or Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-IV), to gain a detailed understanding of how the brain functions across different domains.

We understand that each individual is unique, and we take a tailored approach to every assessment. Before the assessment begins, our psychologists take the time to understand the client’s history, concerns, and goals. Whether you're a parent seeking clarity about your child’s school performance or an adult wondering about attention issues or memory problems, we ensure the process is clear, supportive, and designed with your needs in mind.

Our cognitive assessments are suitable for:

• Children struggling academically or socially

• Adolescents showing signs of attention or behavioural issues

• Young adults needing support for university or work accommodations

• Individuals seeking clarity around giftedness or learning potential

• Referrals for educational or allied health support services

At Positive Mind Hub, the assessment process is broken into three stages:

1. Initial Consultation – We begin with a session to understand the client’s background, challenges, and reasons for seeking the assessment. This helps us select the most appropriate testing tools and tailor the process accordingly.

2. Assessment Sessions – Cognitive testing is conducted in a calm and supportive environment. Sessions are designed to be engaging and paced appropriately, especially for younger clients. Depending on the assessment’s complexity, this may take one or two appointments.

3. Comprehensive Report & Feedback – After testing, we provide a detailed written report outlining cognitive strengths, areas of difficulty, and practical recommendations for home, school, or workplace settings. A feedback session is also included to discuss the results in a clear, compassionate manner and to answer any questions.

We believe that cognitive assessments are not just about identifying problems—they’re about uncovering potential and opening doors to new strategies and opportunities. With the right insights, families and educators can make confident, well-informed choices that support lifelong learning and personal growth.

Our clinic in Melbourne provides a welcoming, professional environment where clients feel comfortable and respected throughout the assessment journey. Whether you're looking for answers or planning for future success, Positive Mind Hub is here to support you with expert care and clear, actionable insights.
