Assessment Overview

Our assessment package is designed to give you a clear understanding of your child’s emotional, behavioural, and learning needs.

The first session will be taken by a Consultant Psychologist to understand your child’s background, concerns, and goals, and to plan the right set of assessments.

The other three sessions will be taken by a Clinical Psychologist who will conduct detailed assessments and observations to explore your child’s strengths and areas that may need support.

After the sessions, you’ll receive a detailed report along with clear guidance on the next steps for therapy, school, or home support.

Who Should Take This Assessment?

Children showing emotional, social, or behavioral difficulties at home, school, or other settings, helping identify support needs early.

Parents seeking a broad understanding of their child’s emotional health, coping skills, and overall adjustment in daily life.

Families unsure if behavioral issues are related to anxiety, mood disorders, attention challenges, or other emotional concerns.

Schools observing social withdrawal, defiance, or disruptive classroom patterns, and looking for strategies to support students effectively.

Why Choose BASC-3?

The BASC-3 (Behavior Assessment System for Children) is a trusted tool used by parents, teachers, and clinicians to understand a child’s emotional, behavioural, and social functioning. It provides a comprehensive view that helps guide supportive strategies tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Whole-Child Perspective

BASC-3 combines multiple reports from parents, teachers, and the child themselves, offering a complete picture of emotional and behavioural patterns.

Screens for Emotional, Behavioral, and Social Challenges

It identifies areas where children may struggle, including anxiety, mood issues, attention difficulties, or peer relationships, allowing for early support.

Highlights Strengths and Resilience

Unlike assessments that focus only on difficulties, BASC-3 emphasizes a child’s strengths and coping skills, helping families see the full picture.

Supports Personalized Care Plans

By revealing both challenges and strengths, the results guide parents and professionals in creating targeted, individualized support plans for emotional, social, and academic growth.

Trusted by Mental Health Professionals

Clinicians widely use BASC-3 as a reliable tool for screening and planning interventions, making it a cornerstone in child behaviour and mental health assessments.
