Our Services

Cognitive, Educational and ADHD Assessments

Te Wheke psychologists provide assessments for children, adolescents and adults. We use gold standard assessment tools to explore an individual’s way of being and learning style, and determine their best options for support. An assessment can be exploratory, or diagnostic in scope. Our educational psychologists can diagnose a range of conditions in children and adults, including Specific Learning Disorders such as dyslexia, learning differences like giftedness and twice-exceptional learners, and neurodivergence such as ADHD.
