Our Assessment Process & Fees
We believe in clear, supportive and collaborative assessments. Here’s what you can expect when you book an assessment at Bayside Psychology.
Our 5 Step Assessment Process
Parent/ Intake Session
The first appointment is a parent-only session. This allows the psychologist to gather detailed background information, understand your concerns and discuss reasons for seeking an assessment.
Assessment Sessions
Following the initial parent session, assessment sessions will commence. These sessions may include clinical interviews, tests and questionnaires
Where appropriate, the psychologist may also gather information from teachers, schools, carers or other professionals.
Assessment Fees
Assessment and testing are included within the standard session fee.
There is no separate charge for the administration of individual tests during an assessment session.
Most assessments require approximately
4-6 sessions,
Including the initial parent session.
Written Assessment Report
The written assessment report is charged separately from the assessment session fees.
The psychologist requires additional time to score and interpret results, integrate information, formulate findings and prepare the written report and recommendations.
The report-writing fee will be discussed with you before the assessment commences.
Results & Feedback
Once the assessment and dreport are complete, a feedback appointment will be arranged.
The psychologist will explain the findings, answer your questions and discuss reccomendations and next steps.
