Understanding a cognitive assessment

Cognitive assessments are essential for understanding how each child processes information, solves problems, and navigates their world.

Every child’s cognitive abilities are unique, and these assessments provide valuable insights into areas like memory, attention, and problem-solving.

Some children may struggle with maintaining focus, processing complex information, or retaining new skills, while others may excel in specific areas such as visual learning or logical reasoning.

Cognitive challenges can also affect how children approach learning, manage tasks, and adapt to new environments.

The results of a cognitive assessment allow us to identify the strengths and areas needing support, enabling us to create a personalised plan that helps your child build essential skills and achieve their full potential.

NDIS funding for cognitive assessments

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an essential resource for families seeking support for children who need a cognitive assessment.

Cognitive assessments can often be covered under NDIS funding, which helps provide access to tailored interventions that address your child’s specific needs.

At Early Start Australia, we understand that navigating the NDIS process can be challenging.

Our dedicated team is here to guide you, helping create a personalised plan that maximises your NDIS funding, ensuring your child receives the right support to develop and thrive.

Frequently asked questions

We may recommend a cognitive assessment if your child experiences challenges with learning, attention, memory, or problem-solving skills.

It helps understand how your child processes information and can guide targeted interventions.

Cognitive assessments typically take between two to three hours.

The time can vary depending on your child’s age, attention span, and specific testing needs.

Once the assessment is complete, the psychologist will provide a detailed report highlighting your child’s cognitive strengths and challenges.

This report includes recommendations for support, whether through tailored learning strategies, therapy, or other interventions.

The results give a clear understanding of your child’s cognitive abilities.

You can use this information to create personalised learning strategies, behavioural interventions, or therapies that help your child succeed in school and everyday activities.

We design the assessment to be engaging and conduct it at a pace that is comfortable for your child.

The goal is to make the experience as positive and stress-free as possible.
