Assessments At Flourish we embrace differences and believe that everyone should have the opportunity to thrive and succeed at school, at home, in the community, and in the workplace. Understanding someones unique strengths, and any areas of difference, is crucial to creating supportive and enriching...

I’m excited to share something that Flourish has been quietly developing over the past year.

As psychologists, assessing for Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs) requires far more than administering tests and checking criteria. It involves understanding developmental history, interpreting patterns across academic skills, considering instructional history, and translating findings into meaningful recommendations for families and schools.

To support this process, I’ve developed the SLD Assessment Resource Kit for Psychologists.

The kit brings together a range of tools designed to support each stage of the assessment process, including:
• A comprehensive guide to understanding SLDs and DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria (including a quick start guide for those Psychologists just needing a quick visual guide to the assessment process)
• A structured diagnostic decision tree and guide
• Assessment planning and observation tools including a tick and flick observation sheet and interpretative table (answering the "what does this mean" question)
• Case examples illustrating clinical reasoning in practice
• A recommendations bank to support targeted interventions and accommodations
• Parent information sheets to help families understand assessment outcomes and next steps

The aim is to help psychologists approach SLD assessments with greater clarity, consistency, and confidence, while still allowing space for clinical judgement.

Perth-Based Assessments

We’re pleased to share that Flourish Assessment & Consultancy is now offering assessment appointments in Perth throughout the year. Where appropriate, some assessments can be completed in your child's school or via telehealth if you are an adult.

Alongside our regional outreach clinics, this provides families and individuals with more flexibility in how and when they access support.

Our assessments focus on understanding each person’s unique profile across areas such as learning, attention, development, and social communication—helping guide meaningful next steps.

If you’ve been considering an assessment and weren’t sure where to start, you’re welcome to reach out to discuss options.

Albany families — a small number of appointments remain for our upcoming outreach clinic (16–20 March).
This clinic includes availability for:
• 🌿 New Exploratory Neurodevelopmental Reviews
• ADHD assessments
• Autism assessments
• Learning assessments (including SCSA review testing)
If you’ve been considering assessment but were unsure where to start, the new Neurodevelopmental Review provides a structured, strengths-informed starting point and includes a dedicated observation session.
As this is a regional outreach service, appointment availability is limited per visit and often fills quickly.
If you’d like to secure one of the remaining places, you’re welcome to enquire via:

Are you a parent of a Year 11 or 12 student who will be applying for special examination arrangements – SCSA diagnostic review assessments are now booking.

If your child:
• Already has a diagnosis
• Has existing exam adjustments
• Needs updated academic testing
• Is preparing for Year 11 or 12

Now is the time to organise review assessments.

SCSA applications for special examination arrangements require current evidence of functional impairment and applications for 2026 are due at the end of term 1 (for current year 12 students).

Flourish Assessment & Consultancy offers Perth-based and Regional review assessments in Esperance, Albany, Kalgoorlie, Tom Price and more.

Looking for a deeper understanding of your young person?

Many families come to us not because something is “wrong”, but because they’re curious.

You might be noticing:

• Differences in attention, focus, or energy
• Unique communication styles
• Big emotions or sensory sensitivities
• Strengths that stand out alongside areas that feel harder
• A sense that your young person experiences the world differently

You may be wondering whether ADHD, autism, anxiety, or another neurodevelopmental difference could help explain their profile — but you’re not ready to jump straight into a full diagnostic assessment.

Our Exploratory Neurodevelopmental Review is designed as a thoughtful, strengths-informed starting point.

It includes:

✔️ A comprehensive developmental and clinical review
✔️ Review of school experiences and history
✔️ A dedicated observation session (including play-based interaction where appropriate) so we can genuinely get to know your young person
✔️ Targeted screening measures where relevant
✔️ A written summary outlining their emerging neurodevelopmental profile and practical next steps

This pathway is ideal when:
• You’re seeking clarity
• Concerns overlap
• You want guidance before deciding on, or commiting to, further assessment
• You’d value a structured professional perspective

This review focuses on broader neurodevelopmental understanding. For literacy-specific concerns (such as dyslexia), we offer separate consultation and learning assessment pathways.

At Flourish, our approach is respectful, evidence-based, and designed to understand the whole child — not just test scores.

If you’d like to explore whether this is the right starting point for your family, we’re here to guide you.

We’ve opened additional Perth-based school assessment availability for Term 1, with most assessments completed directly at school to minimise disruption for students and families.

These appointments are ideal for:
• Year 12 review assessments for special examination arrangements
• Learning assessments (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia)
• ADHD assessments
• Combined learning and attention profiles
• Some autism assessments (where appropriate)

Our reports provide clear, practical recommendations that support schools and families to understand each student’s strengths and needs.

Places are limited so we recommend you book early
