Assessments

Our Assessments

Monarch Autism Assessment offers a range of diagnostic assessments for children and adolescents. Each assessment is conducted by our multidisciplinary team - paediatricians, psychologists, and speech pathologists - working together in person at our Williams Landing clinic.

Autism (ASD)

Autism (ASD) Assessments

An autism assessment at Monarch is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary process. By bringing together medical, psychological, and communication expertise, we are able to assess your child from every angle - resulting in a more thorough and accurate diagnostic outcome than a single-clinician assessment can provide.

What’s included

Paediatric medical consultation including developmental and family history
Psychological assessment including standardised tools such as the ADOS-2, WISC-V, and VABS-3
Speech pathology assessment of communication, language, and social communication
Structured diagnostic interviews with parents/caregivers and, where appropriate, the child
Consideration of co-occurring conditions, such as ADHD, anxiety, or language disorder
A comprehensive, integrated written report with diagnostic outcome and recommendations

ADHD

ADHD Assessments

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition that can shape how a child focuses, manages tasks, regulates energy, and responds to their environment. ADHD looks different in every child - and in many cases, traits go unrecognised, particularly in girls and quieter presentations.

What’s included

Paediatric consultation exploring medical history and current concerns
Standardised ADHD rating scales and questionnaires (parent and teacher)
Psychological assessment of executive functioning and cognitive profile
Consideration of co-occurring conditions
A comprehensive written report with diagnostic outcome and recommendations

Cognitive & Learning

Cognitive & Learning Assessments

Cognitive assessments evaluate a child's intellectual strengths and weaknesses across areas such as verbal reasoning, visual-spatial skills, working memory, and processing speed. These assessments can help identify specific learning disorders and inform educational planning.

What’s included

Use of internationally recognised cognitive assessment tools (e.g. WISC-V, Leiter-3)
Assessment tailored to age - preschool through to adolescence
Identification of learning strengths and areas of difficulty, including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia
Speech pathology input where language or communication factors are relevant
Recommendations for school adjustments and additional supports
A comprehensive written report suitable for schools and other services

Children & Adolescents

Assessments for Children & Adolescents

Early identification can make a meaningful difference to a child's development, helping families and schools put the right supports in place as early as possible. We create a calm, friendly environment so children and young people feel comfortable and engaged throughout the assessment.

What’s included

Play-based and age-appropriate assessment activities
Parent/caregiver interview and detailed developmental history
Input from teachers or other professionals where relevant (with consent)
Coordinated assessment across paediatrics, psychology, and speech pathology as clinically indicated
A report with clear recommendations for home, school, and other services
