Understanding Psychological Assessments

At Muse Psychology, we offer a range of Psychological Assessments to help identify your child's strengths and needs. These assessments are also used to give families the confidence to make educational choices and ensure the correct supports are in place for the child and their learning environment.

Each assessment is tailored to uncover your child’s unique strengths, challenges, and needs. We aim to deliver a detailed, easy-to-understand report—including practical recommendations for teachers, tutors, and parents/carers—within 2 to 3 weeks of the final appointment.
