Intelligence Tests
An intelligence assessment measures the child or adults IQ (intelligence quotient). It provides information about their strength and weaknesses in memory, verbal and perceptual skills. At A Better Me Psychology, we use the latest version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children or Adults (WISC-V/WAIS-IV). The assessment involves the child or adult completing multiple activities and questions at the clinic. A comprehensive report and recommendations are then provided to you as a result of this assessment.

Autism Assessment and Testing
Here at A Better Me Psychology we can provide you with an assessment of autism for both adult and children. We conduct our assessment using a gold standard test for Autism assessment and diagnosis. The tests we use are known as the Autism Diagnostic Interview – Revised (ADI-R) and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule 2 (ADOS-2). We begin the assessment using an extensive structured interview with a parent or caregiver. We then follow the interview with a structured observation session. At the completion of the assessment parents/caregivers are given a completed report with recommendations to best suit the individual.
