At ANIMA Health Network, we conduct comprehensive assessments for Children 6 years and over. As we take great pride in our service, all our assessments are conducted by Clinical Psychologists and Clinical Neuropsychologists with specialised training in diagnosing and treating complex mental health and brain-related conditions. Our assessments include a detailed report offering diagnostic opinions and personalised recommendations, which will be discussed at the feedback session, along with anything else that is flagged during the assessment. Beyond a singular focus, we also screen for the spectrum of neurodevelopmental and psychological difficulties, providing a holistic understanding of your child’s unique situation.

Some of the conditions we assess are:

• Specific Learning Disorders (SLD's), including Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia

• Education Difficulties

• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - Important: Whilst we will be able to provide you with a comprehensive picture of your current difficulties, we do not prescribe medication. If you need medication as part of your treatment, you will need a prescription from the Pediatrician or Psychiatrist who is managing your care.

• Intellectual Disability

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (From age 6)
