Overview
The Adult Cognitive Assessment is a supportive diagnostic tool designed to explore the diverse cognitive landscape of individuals, aiming to identify Intellectual Disabilities (I.D) and determine their accompanying severity levels. This assessment is not just about identifying challenges but also about recognizing and celebrating unique cognitive strengths.
If there’s a suspicion of intellectual impairment, or if additional insights are sought for NDIS support reviews, higher education support, or work-ready placement assistance, the Adult Cognitive Assessment becomes a valuable resource. By employing the WAIS-IV, a cognitive assessment tailored for adults and older adolescents (16-90 years), we seek to provide a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s learning profile.
