FAQ
What is Psychological Assessment?
At Mithrah, we provide psychological assessments for a variety of challenges affecting children, adolescents, and adults. Beyond diagnosing developmental issues, our assessments also highlight individuals’ strengths, talents, and interests. This information helps tailor support plans to their specific goals and aspirations, enabling tailored interventions that facilitate reaching their full potential.
What are the common signs that suggest an assessment is needed? If you or your child exhibit one or more of these signs, it may be beneficial to undergo a psychologist’s assessment for further investigation:
- Difficulty following or understanding instructions
- Forgetfulness, disorganization, or poor memory
- Decline in grades or work performance
- Struggles with learning despite possessing advanced skills
- High potential hindered by challenges in achievement
- Persistent boredom, even when successful
- Low confidence and stress related to learning or work
- Difficulty making or maintaining friendships
What conditions do you assess?
These conditions require a comprehensive clinical assessment by qualified health professionals for accurate diagnosis:
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Intellectual giftedness
- Specific learning disorders
- Intellectual disability
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
How can a comprehensive assessment be beneficial?
A thorough assessment is crucial for investigating learning difficulties, emotional/behavioural issues, and obtaining diagnoses essential for accessing support funding:
- Provides a formal diagnosis, potentially qualifying individuals for funding or support from educational institutions, employment services, and government programs (e.g., NDIS).
- Identifies underlying causes of emotional, behavioural, and educational challenges, guiding effective treatment strategies.
- Assesses cognitive (e.g., working memory, processing speed) and academic (e.g., reading, writing, mathematics) strengths and weaknesses.
- Offers detailed feedback and a comprehensive report with personalized recommendations to support clients’ needs, leverage strengths, and maximize potential.
- For children, assists in developing Individualized Educational Plans (IEPs) tailored to their learning requirements in school settings.
