Specialistassessments.
Insights that make a difference.
Expert psychological assessments that help people feel understood, supported, and confident in their strengths.
Assessments that build a clearer picture.
Understanding how someone thinks, learns, and experiences the world can make a meaningful difference.
At Oakdale, our specialist assessments include cognitive assessments for children and adults, dyslexia and dyspraxia assessments for people age 16+ and trauma-informed attachment assessments for children and families.
Led by experienced, appropriately qualified practitioners, our assessments go beyond identifying difficulties. They help uncover strengths, make sense of individual needs, and provide practical recommendations to support what happens next.
Cognitive assessments.
Our cognitive assessments build a clear picture of how you or your child thinks, learns and processes information. Led by experienced, qualified psychologists, they highlight strengths as well as challenges, helping you understand what support will make a meaningful difference day to day.
Dyslexia & dyspraxia assessments.
We offer dyslexia and dyspraxia assessments for adults aged 16 and over, delivered online by psychologists with specialist expertise. Your assessment builds a detailed understanding of how you process language, written information and coordination, with clear, personalised recommendations so the right support can be put in place.
Trauma-informed attachment assessments.
Our attachment assessments help families and professionals understand how trauma and attachment difficulties affect a child's life. Rooted in trauma-informed approaches, they offer clear insights and practical guidance to support the child, their parents and everyone around them.
