Cognitive Assessments in Melbourne by Sunflower Community Supports

At Sunflower Community Supports, we offer cognitive assessments by qualified psychologists that can assist with determining whether an individual, child or adult, has a diagnosis of an intellectual disability and break down the areas where a person may need more support in their day-to-day functioning. These insights not only help us develop strategies to help participants’ well-being but can also be incredibly important in determining the amount of support you or your child is able to access, whether that be in kindergarten and school, government supports such as disability pension and the NDIS.

We use current best practice and Australia wide recognised assessment tools to obtain information regarding the individual’s communication skills, reasoning, working memory and analytical capabilities, summarising these areas with an overall FSIQ score. These evidence-based approaches help us form the appropriate care strategy and in long term can aim to increase participants’ independence.
